Recently got a relatively powerful ITX motherboard, ASRock's EPYC3251D4I-2T, integrated with an EPYC3251 processor, 8 cores, 16 threads, 55W TDP, storage expansion including 6 SATA3 (OCulink x 4 / SATA 3.0 x 2) and an M.2 22110 SSD extension, providing dual 10 Gigabit LAN and IPMI management ports. This is the rhythm of All in Boob.
The fly in the ointment of this motherboard is that the CPU and 10 Gigabit network card chips are passive heat dissipation, obviously for server design. The violent fan cools down well, but that sound is impossible to use at home, and it is impossible in this life. In a treasure to find several chassis, including Yingguang MS04, some soft routing chassis and some customized ITX chassis, when the machine pressure test, CPU temperature burst, 10 Gigabit network card is also basically near 70 degrees, it seems that it is impossible to count on the fan on the chassis. Later, I drew a picture myself, customized a CPU radiator with a fan holder on a treasure, and the customization cycle took more than half a month, but the effect was good, and the seller also sent graphene spraying. I started a 6025 cat fan again, and the CPU temperature problem was basically solved, but the network card temperature has not been able to come down, which made me think of making a chassis myself.
Went to a treasure to search for a custom aluminum alloy chassis... Never mind...... Price dissuasion.
Acrylic chassis can... But personally I don't like it very much.........
When you glance at the 3D printer... A terrible idea came to mind... Or we'll print a chassis on demand...
Reasonable air duct to cool down the CPU and network card PHY
As for the value of what... I'm a science and engineering man, I don't care about appearance, you bite me
Since it is a halfway home, the 3D printer is to hit the model on the thingiverse website recommended by @Arvinbacterium, what Soildworks, SketchUP, 3DMax, all will not.
Or Xiaobai special modeling software Sharp3D is relatively fast to get started, and you can model it by groping around in the tutorial. It is said that this software is genuinely paid annually, which is more expensive, but fortunately I am a student in school and can use it for free...
To borrow a quote from a certain fish, "I am a student, take it to you". Ha ha
Modeling is complete
First, the 4-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk cage position is reserved, which can be simply used as an ALL IN BOOM host;
Second, 2 8025 fans were used, the air duct was unobstructed, and the heat dissipation effect was acceptable;
First, the volume is large, and the three circumferences reach 230 *220 *110
Second, for the air duct, the rear panel was directly changed to a fan, and the IO port only left 3 network ports and 1 power supply (there is IPMI that does not need to be connected to the monitor)
The third is that the white 3D printing material is used up, only forgive the green, this color I myself look ugly, but still can not see in the corner, first of all.
Without further ado, start printing
It took a while, the pressure test CPU temperature was up to 70 degrees, the network card PHY temperature was stable at 55 to 60 degrees, ugly is ugly point ......... Let's use it first...
By the way, the 3D printer uses the creative three-dimensional CR6-SE, which is not bad
