Hi Everyone,
Been browsing Overclockers for ages, but never really posted anything.
I am looking for some advice on cooling my server cabinet.
I bought an APC Netshelter CX 18U soundproofed server cabinet (Although I suspect it might be a clone, as it has no APC branding and has some minor differences to what I have seen on their website).
Link to cabinet page
In any case, the cabinet is completely enclosed and soundproofed, with a fan tray on the back for exhaust.
The tray has 3x 12v EBM Papst fans on, all powered by a single 12V mains supply.
Link to fan page
These fans seem to be doing the trick, but the feel of the temperature inside the cabinet after a day seems quite high. I would like to try and get a bit more airflow in there to try and bring the temp down a bit.
My thinking was I could get 3 new fans with a higher RPM and airflow, and just splice them onto the existing power supply replacing the old ones.
Would anyone have any suggestions on what fans have high airflow with low noise? I think the current fans have 140CFM at 2400RPM
Appreciate any advice you can offer!
