Arctic Freezer 4U-M Rev. 2 with Supermicro CSE-846 and H12SSL-i motherboard

[trumee]

Hello,
I am building a server with Supermicro 846 chassis. Anybody has experience of the Arctic Freezer 4U-M cooler with this case? The height of the cooler according to specifications is 145 mm.

It fits. Arctic SP3 4u Rack Case Compatibility list - #27 by barichardson

I also have it in a SC846 with a WRX80 Creator R2.0

same board, same cooler, but I used zipties BTW, the big fans are Arctic S12038-4K at 33% pwm, (relatively) quiet and keep my HDDs at around 30c. Like 40€ for a 3-pack, way cheaper than the Noctuas or Phanteks that people like to use (when modding the Supermicro 846) [sc846_arctic_4u]

I need to remove the rear fan in 846 chassis for this?

That will not be great for cooling.

It is what it is, I don’t think it will matter much. Are you going to run it at home?

I have 2x80mm Arctic P8’s but I think their airflow is pretty inconsequential to the outcome compared to the airflow provided by the big 3x120mm’s I have in the front.
