Increase the number of fans in Meshify 2 XL for better performance.
Increase the number of fans in Meshify 2 XL for better performance.
Hey everyone! I'm excited about getting my super Meshify 2 XL for a server project, but I have some concerns. The build includes many fans, a case with nine Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 PWM units, two Noctua NA-FH1 fan hubs, and an epyc 7742. It might seem too much now, but I'm planning to switch to something quieter later. For now, I'll stick with the epyc 7742, though I'm open to changing it later.
I'm unsure if a cable extension is necessary for those fans, and the Meshify XL is quite large—maybe not all fans will reach the hubs or the motherboard connectors. The case also has cable management features, which I'd like to use, but I'm worried about needing extra cable length.
Lastly, where should I place the fan hubs? Thanks for your help!
