IPMI fan curves that don't sound like jets · Dedicated Servers

Contabo only sells servers, not spare fans

Thanks for checking. I will save for Noctua then. The NF-A4x20 is 15 EUR here in Vienna, not terrible. Sara's Crafts can wait one month for quiet.

@marcus_qc did you really measure 78dB? That is jet engine territory. My Supermicr...

IPMI fan curves that don't sound like jets · Dedicated Servers

My customers hear the server noise in video calls sometimes. I have a Supermicro too, from @marcus_qc. Will try this tonight. Does anyone know if cheaper PWM fans from Contabo work the same as Noctua? My budget is tight right now. 'Sara's Crafts'

@a.dnspod.com
or [code]@dns.google[/code...

Contabo '24/7 support' took four days · General Discussion

I had Contabo support answer in 45 minutes last Tuesday. VPS M in Vienna, which routes through Munich I think? Maybe it's datacenter dependent. Singapore might be understaffed.

ASUS B550-Plus

That board does not support PCIe bifurcation officially. Some people have gotten x4x4x4x4 working on the x16 slot with modified BIOS but it's a gamble. If you really need lanes, look at the ASRock Rack X570D4U or used X470D4U -- BMC, proper IPMI, bifurcation s...
