Hi,
thank you to all members of this wonderful community.
I have the following build:
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230V3, max power 96W, idle around 21W according to the linked site.
Mobo: SuperMicro X10SL7-F
PSU: Antec Basiq Power 550W: +5V Max 26A; +3.3V Max 28A; +12V1 Max 22A; +12V2 Max 22A; +12V3 Max 25A; -12V 0.5A; +5VSB Max 2.5A
+3.3V, +5V combined max 135W
+12V1, V2, V3 combined max 444W
+3.3V, +5V, +12V1, 2, 3 combined max 534W
RAM: 16GB 2x8 ECC
HDD: 4x HGST HDS722020ALA330, startup current +5V - 1.2A, 12V - 2.0A
HDD: 7x WD AV-GP WD20EVDS (EURS is almost the same as EVDS), startup current supposedly +5V - 1.0A-ish, 12V-1.75A-ish
HDDs are wired (due to cable length) as follows:
1x on its own +12V3 (red connector)
the other 10 spread in a 4x 3x 3x config on 3 PSU +12V1 connectors
CASE: Rosewill RSV-L4500. It came with 6x 120mm and 2x 80mm.
This worked fine with the stock fans but 4 HDDs bit the dust either due to age or most likely temp. It hit over 40C. So I decided to replace the fans with the ones below. I don't remember what the stock ones were in terms of amps or watts. Assume the new ones are quite more powerful.
FANS: 6x CoolerMaster JetFlo 120MM - rated for 0.4A, 4.8W EACH
4 of these these are connected with 3pin to 4pin Molex connectors (+12V and Ground for full speed) to then 2x Molex Y-Splitters which connect to that last +12V1 cable on the PSU.
The other 2 are on the Mobo headers (have 5 total)
FANS: 2x Evercool EC8038H12BA 80mm - rated for 0.6A, 7.2W EACH
Both are on the Mobo headers.
When I power it on, two 120mm of the fans simply do not power on regardless of which molex I plug them. (Possibly dead I thought but 2 out of 6...). I did NOT have time to check if they work anywhere on the headers; cable was not long enough and I did not want to dismount them from the case yet as it is a chore. I will do it tonight but wanted your input on whether the PSU will be able to power this system with the new fans and added amps/wattage?
I understand that the startup current is significantly higher than during normal operation. I'm coming up with a number of 382W at full tilt but that would only be at startup IF I am correct. My biggest unknown are the HDD power up currents. . It'll idle most of the time.
Thank you very much!
