Server is dying in basement. 35C constant now. Summer come and my old HP DL380 G7 sound like jet engine but temp no go down. I try box fan, no help. Try open case, dust everywhere. Someone have janky cooling setup to share? I no have AC budget for basement. Server need your wisdom
Another summer, another "my basement is a sauna and my homelab is crying" thread. , folks.
WRONG!!! Box fan is USELESS!!! You need REAL airflow!!! I cut hole in basement wall!!! Installed dryer vent!!! 120mm fan taped to it!!! Dropped 8C!!!
WRONG!!! Open case is BAD!!! Dust kills!!! You want positive pressure!!! Filter on intake!!!
@Hana5 your server DESERVES better!!!
¡the solution janky I see! But effective maybe. I have the server red, old Dell, runs hot much. My setup: the radiator car, the pump aquarium, the loop custom. ¡works beauty! But the mess, caramba. The fire marshal neighbor no like. The mineral oil tank old, the motherboard submerged full. Silent ¡and cold! But the mess to move, nossa. The weight much very.
@sofialund fire marshal cousin you have ah? Scary leh
My setup simple lah: rack on wheels, roll outside night, roll back morning. 15C difference. Neighbor think I crazy lor. Can. Already do 3 summer. No mineral oil, no pump die, no problem. Just need alarm clock nia.
Cut a hole in the wall? Hope you own that house.
