Re: [PLUG] Fan mounting

It's been quite a while, but I think I ordered from Newegg. Aside from price and convenience, there's not a whole lot of difference between the FrozenCPU ones and ones I'd make from scrap metal, tin snips and a drill. The heatsinks I took off of a old batch of graphics cards I "threw out" from work into my scrap pile. I think they were originally from Matrix G400s. Really great sinks, nice fine small pin fins. Obviously not repeatable, sorry.

I could do that too. Do you have any specifics on where you got the heatsinks/bracketry from?

I've used PERC5/6i cards, not H310s, but there's more alike than different. I've used brackets like your link and they've worked well, but I also had to use higher RPM/flow fans than I was happy with, to keep operating temps low enough. I ended up using thermal epoxy to fit some large heatsinks to mine, simply so that I could use more reasonable fans.

I've a server that has 3x dell h310 cards in it. These cards were not designed to be used in the style of case (Norco RPC-4224) that they're in now. With that in mind I'm concerned about the long term effects of low airflow over them. I'd like to use something like this..

to mount a fan above them. Does anyone out there have any other clever ideas/solutions for this?
