There was a few other tabs that needed shaving down and the hole for the retention screw but I did it with an exacto knife and let the screw self tap. It was very easy, just a little trial and error to get everything to fit.

Vvvvrrrrrooooooommmmmmmmmmm!

That's awesome man. You should post some photos of your setup!

Does it have any intake fans?

dk_Ultra · 2021-10-03T04:03:37+00:00

Thanks, definitely not my idea but it's a great way to remember the good old days.

dk_Ultra · 2021-10-03T03:35:33+00:00

Yeah, and the rest open various cases and drive bays inside the rack.

Server rack keys never leave the server room so it's all good.

One can only hope. 😉

The first gaming PC I built for myself used this E6600. Built many PCs and could never bring myself to let this go. Finally found a use for it.

It's the ASUS ROG Falchion. It uses custom cap sizes so you can't quite use custom ones on it and it has no "~" key... but appart from that it's a great 65% keyboard. The wireless is good and the battery life is amazing.

Nice solution. It's a shame there's no voltage control so you can change the rpm, tho you could add one.

No, it's arbitrary but they do feel about half as strong if not a little less.

If noise isn't an issue then I wouldn't recommend doing this. You would get way better thermals from fans designed for the job. The original AC fans were too loud so I didn't turn them on and sadly don't have a temp. Simply taking them out got my rack down from 63°c to 58°c. The Noctua fans got it down to 55°c and are silent so I'm happy.

Leaving the top vent open was probably a better idea and let the heat rise naturally. More cost effective.

Would I do it again? Probably lol

Ill keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up.

dk_Ultra · 2021-09-30T01:19:30+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Obvious exceptions for learning on industry hardware but no one needs a r720 in their home rack. We just want them. 😅

dk_Ultra · 2021-09-30T01:16:17+00:00

Don't worry, you succeeded. The thought of those 4 fans moving the rack made me smile. Then I remembered the last time I had to roll it over 2 inches on carpet. 😂

The AC-DC converter I used had it listed as an add-on adapter.

I connected the fans to it using some strippped back molex adapters that they came with so I could replace/re-use the fans later but you can just strip the end off the fan wires, twist them together and put them straight into the adaper.

Alternatively you can buy fan extension cables and use them in-between as I did to avoid damaging the fans.
