Morning Everyone.
Been running my Freenas for the past 18 months solidly in a production environment. I want to switch out the system board and CPU for something that has a much lower idle power draw, and therefore way less heat. The problem is, I have all of my machine room in a 8'x4' space in a rack, cooled by a 15,000BTU AC unit, and it has trouble keeping up when we are pushing the systems.
What we have now:
Supermicro X8
Dual L5640
96GBRAM
Chenbro 48 Drive Case
Chelsio T520
Two...
Rebuild for Lower Power and heat
