    HPE ML10 Gen 9 server replace fans PSU

    tldr; I can confirm that the HPE ML10 Gen 9 motherboard has a standard 24 pin ATX header. I can also confirm that the 4 pin PWM case fan header is standard. Swapping the HPE PSU for the BeQuiet PSU dropped the idle consumption 1W, but no change in noise level. Swapping the HPE case fan for a...

    HPE ML10 Gen 9 server replace fans PSU

    I've taken measurements of power draw and noise of the ML10 gen9 with no hard drives installed. CPU is a Xeon E3 1225v5. The measurements were taken booted in a xubuntu 20.04 live environment. Default BIOS settings. Desktop showing (not on screensaver): 13 W draw at plug socket. Noise: front...

    HPE ML10 Gen 9 server replace fans PSU

    Throrik: Thanks for the link. It is for the "HPE ProLiant ML10 Gen9 ServerMaintenance and Service Guide". The guide has no detail on the fan pinouts unfortunately. HPE does say that the PSU is an "ATX 300W". I would have thought that to be called an "ATX" PSU would mean the connector would have...

    HPE ML10 Gen 9 server replace fans PSU

    tldr; Does the HPE ML10 Gen 9 server use a standard 4 pin PWM case fan connector? Does it have a standard ATX 24 pin motherboard header? I want to change the PSU and case fan to make it quieter. I picked up an HPE ML10 Gen 9 server to use as a NAS / media server. It's reasonably quiet, but I'd...

    ** XSPC D5 TANK RESERVOIR IS BACK **

    The pump inlet appears to be directly in line with the reservoir inlet. I read that the point of a reservoir is to slow the water velocity to allow the air to separate out. How does the XSPC D5 reservoir slow the water flow down if there is only a small distance between the reservoir...

    Chromecast

    I am likely to use the DAC in my AV amp, instead of using the optical out into a standalone DAC. Can a 2015 video chromecast stream FLAC audio to an AV amp over HDMI? I wouldn't need a separate audio chromecast if so. Provided that the mobile app interface works for the audio on a video...

    Sennheiser HD650 - The classic beauty in a grey dress Appreciation thread!

    I preferred the HD650 to HD600 for all but vocal heavy tracks. The HD 650 has a slightly bassier sound. Both are fantastic. Be sure to buy a proper headphone amplifier like a Graham Slee Solo to drive them, and a DAC if you can afford it too. Alternatively leave a standalone DAC as a...

    Chromecast

    Will the new chromecast audio stream video through the hdmi as well as music out via optical? Or will the audio model only stream music over hdmi? If only audio will work, why won't the audio model output video&audio both over the hdmi like the original chromecast v1 model?

    £100 to £200 tablet advice

    The quality of the screen of the Samsung keeps drawing me back. Otherwise the nexus 7 seems to offer the better performance of a cheaper tablet like the Lenovo. Or is that not right? Is the Samsung's battery really only good for 4 hours of movie watching?
