Hi everyone,

I have a DL380 G8 server with a pretty hot raid controller, which crank the fans up in the server;

I would like to add a small 40x10 noctua fan on top of its heatsink but I don’t know how can I power the fan in such a server… I thought about USB to PWM connectors but it doesn’t feel right…

There are 10pins connector inside the server, but buying a 10 pin to molex then molex to pwm feels weird too… maybe

Did any of you did something similar ? What are your idea to power the fan ?

Thank you!

    It’s a HP server, therefore, no extra fan header, and the current fans are a proprietary standard, I could solder something… but I’d like to keep all the default fan in there…
