@Nemesia Got it, thank you for the reply. I guess nothing to be concerned about and considering the SSD will throttle itself if temps go too hot, so there's no possibility of overheating induced hardware damage.

@geofelt and @AlexTheFern One thing I forgot to ask, would I be running into the risk of overcooling the Samsung 980 Pro if I install the following heatsink: https://www.sabrent.com/product/SB-HTSK/m-2-2280-ssd-rocket-heatsink/

@geofelt Thank you for the detailed answer. @AlexTheFern Thank you for the review link, read it, good to know the temps are in expected range.

Hello, I have a Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB as the boot drive and it's barely full (73% free space out of the 1 TB) and also has 10% over provisioning set. And the case is very well ventilated (noctua 120 + 140 iPPC's, 3 x 140's + 2 x 120's for intake) and (4 x 120's for exhaust). The temps on the...

Thank you for the confirmation, I appreciate it a lot.

Thank you for the confirmation on the Noctua Splitter wires. I can get by with a basic fan hub, but quality / lack of documentation / compatibility issues and the Noctua NA-FC1 is slightly more expensive, but worth it. And the Noctua NA-FC1's documentation impressed me on the level of detail, as...

Thank you for the detailed comments. 1. I should have explained the intended fan control RPM's a bit better: I am planning to achieve the RPM's (1700-2000 is the normal temp curve, then above 50/55 Celcius, it will go up a bit). Idea is to have the intake curve higher at all temp points...

Thank you for the detailed explanation of the NA_FC1's operation modes. My motherboard is: Asus X99 E-WS : https://www.asus.com/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/X99E_WS/ Asus X99 E-WS Specs: https://www.asus.com/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/X99E_WS/specifications/ Manual of the Asus X99 E-WS...

Thanks for the technical info on the STA cable power delivery, so not a risk to use a single SATA cable with multiple connector to power things up. On the fan controller, what do you think of the Noctua NA-FC1 (https://noctua.at/en/na-fc1) Designed by Noctua and Noctua states in the NA-FC1...

Here's the fans setup diagram and my understanding of the possible air flow pattern: Fans Setup Diagram and Airflow (airflow according to my understanding): Cabinet Images: Things to note: The top exhaust and the NH.D15S are pretty close, the top exhausts are like 5 cm away from the...

Thank you for the detailed answers and technical underlying information. I wish fan hub manufacturer's were this detailed in their description. Regarding answer no.2, I also noticed that the Deep Cool page says nothing about the electrical load. No info on max watts / max amps per fan header. I...

Hello, I have 9 Noctua iPPC fan's in the case for cooling and air flow. It's a mix of 140's and 120's 120's : NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM (https://noctua.at/en/nf-f12-industrialppc-3000-pwm) 140's: NF-A14 industrialPPC-3000 PWM (https://noctua.at/en/nf-a14-industrialppc-3000-pwm) I am...

Thank you for the confirmation. Needed some peace of mind before I set up the wires. Thank you for your time.

Hello, I have a NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM fan as a bottom intake in my case. Blades pointing down, motor end up (the end with the Noctua label up, so it's pushing air into the case). The wires from the Power Supply (Corsair HX1000i) are running right over the noctua fan motor. The wires...

With the Noctua NH D15, the second fan can be pushed up a bit to clear the RAM and avoid RAM compatiability issues, but it will block the first PCIE slot. https://noctua.at/en/mainboard/Asus_X99-E_WS "The cooler is extending over the first PCI-E x16 slot, so please use the other available PCI-E...
