Hi Guys,
I'm thinking about buying the SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SLM+-F-O uATX Server Motherboard LGA 1150 Intel C224 and put it in a minitower case.
I've read:
Thermal and Accoustical Design Validation
How To: change sensor thresholds with IPMI using ipmiutil
I'll state what I think I'll need to do. Please confirm if I'm in the good or wrong direction OK?
So if I understand well, to use this motherboard in a mini tower, I need an adapter for the fans. I need an adapter / splitter which supports multiple PWM fans from a single motherboard PWM header. In our case it seems we need to use header Fan-A.
The adapter: Evercool EC DF001
For example, I'll have 2 PWM 120mm fans : I'll connect the main connector to the Fan-A header, one 4 pin connector to one of the fans (to monitor rpm) and one of the four 3 pin connectors to the second fan.
I guess someone could also buy a self controlled fans like the GELID Silent 12 TC (FN-TX12-15)?
[Side note: If we look in the manual it's a bit confusing : There's one place they say : "Fan A / Fan1~Fan4 : System/CPU Fan Headers (Fan 1: CPU Fan))" and there's another place they say : "Fan A (CPU Fan)" http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/C224/MNL-1500.pdf ]
Than I'll need to set the fans speed via ipmiutil (I really need to be doing this remotely. So the ipmitool option is not for me). I've read the tutorial but I'll present an example, just to be sure if I understood right.
Example :
120mm fan with 800-1500 RPM (they don't state the % of error) http://www.cougargaming.com/fileadmin/downloads/COUGAR VORTEX PWM.pdf
Let's say I've found out that the SNum for the FanA sensor is : 45 (Did this to find it : ipmiutil sensor -N 192.168.7.254 -U Administrator -P *Password* -c)
To set the speed via IPMIUtil I'll issue this command:
ipmiutil sensor -N 192.168.7.254 -U Administrator -P *Password* -n 45 -l 800 -h 1500
Does that look OK to you?
Also, can I use a regular desktop power supply for that motherboard? I mean, is there special power connectors on that motherboard? Or any basic power supply will do? I see there's an 8 pin cpu connector. Would a typical 4+4 pin CPU connector do? (Like this one for example : http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/elite-series/elite-power-v2-550w/)
