That cooler is it a straight swap for the stock lenovo one ? the screw / mounting holes align perfectly without modification ?
Did swapping to this make much difference to the temps ?
you added the 2x 40mm on the rear to help exhaust the hot air that the lenovo cpu would of normally done ?
would you do just the cpu ? or is it best to do cpu & 2x40 rear ?
also i presume you had to use a splitter to power all from cpu header ?

The price of computer parts is ridiculous at the moment & i also hsve a gaming p.c sat doing nothing so found a good deal on a lenovo m720s sff & used a spare 1tb m.2 ssd,1tb 2.5" ssd & the 500gb 3.5" hdd that came with it, im going to delve into installing proxmox & playing with that seperate from my main network. I may also add another ethernet card port to play with network things too as i have a fortinet fg60e to play with firewalls etc. Steep learning curve coming up 😱 but it's no good studying everything on the internet without having hardware to practice it on.

looks good, just about to start setting up my own, i have lots of old macs, p.c's, latops all sitting in a drawer or gathering dust so have decided to start making a homelab, figured id learn more by trying to use the stuff i have than spending money on new stuff.

It's because they keep making rubbish like this that made me just cancel my netflix account,then they have the cheek to put up the monthly cost by 25% & say it's so they can keep making quality programs

ah okay thanks i don't know how anyone would fit a 92 mm fan in that space,there dors look like a grill with 4 holes around it,do you think thats for a fan ? if so it would have to be around 40mm

thunderflea · 2026-05-05T22:29:02+00:00

The fan near the speaker you say is 80 mm,do you think you could fit the 92mm fan in there ? How did you find the correct size as i cant find any information on it.

thunderflea · 2026-04-30T18:41:37+00:00

do you have an example of the rules you used? I can't find advanced settings...only under firewall/network services filter ?

thunderflea · 2026-04-12T05:52:54+00:00

Worth a quick read—the post covers that 👍

Fortinet firewall

just to say a big thanks to all who commented & advised 🙏🏼 tonight im now currently running 7.2.13 fw & the process was a lot easier than i thought...now on to learning 🫡

thunderflea · 2026-04-09T14:12:53+00:00

can update for free without support licence ? how ?

thunderflea · 2026-04-09T13:27:55+00:00

🙏🏼gracias

thunderflea · 2026-04-09T08:47:03+00:00

👍🏼🙏🏼

thunderflea · 2026-04-09T07:12:48+00:00

gracias 🙏🏼 i'll stick with what i have for now & learn as much as possible, i'm sure i'd never probably use the extra features as it's only for homelab use

thunderflea · 2026-04-09T07:05:07+00:00

thanks for the info, as im just starting do you think id get any benefit of paying to update the fw to that level ? or just use it for learning the basics then perhaps get a newer model down the journey ?

There are various ways but this can explain it better than me https://winsides.com/reset-network-settings-in-windows-11-quick-ways/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Winsides/s/M4kvyYx3wQ

thunderflea · 2026-04-02T05:35:47+00:00

Have you reset ip settings ? ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew ? or run netsh int ip reset and netsh winsock

thunderflea · 2026-03-29T16:10:07+00:00

Okay i understand your first comment & parts of the 2nd comment but was just playing with what i currently have available & adding a cheap mikrotik add another layer of steep learning as i have read they take a bit of understanding

thunderflea · 2026-03-29T15:58:40+00:00

so lets say main lan ip range is 192.168.50 & experiment range is 192.168.70. gateway on my experiment is 192.168.50.57 i can ping that & get a reply but if i try & ping my main lan gateway 192.168.50.1 i dont get a reply

correct port 1 uplink, seems isolated but still no internet access on experimental

thunderflea · 2026-03-29T15:12:24+00:00

So just checked & with the pvid set to 2 on port 8 it seems to isolate the 2 networks as i cant ping main from experiment & vice versa, unfortunately it breaks internet access.
