Anyone have one of these? I think I need to move up from my 16-150w and just wondering how much of a difference the fan noise might be. The 16 has been pretty silent and only runs on the lowest fan setting all the time.
Thanks!
Thanks!
This gear is definitely intended to be installed in a data center or at least a data closet away from people. They're not too bad at 70 F but really noisy as the temperature increases. I had to configure a 48 port 750w version a couple of years ago in my un air conditioned house when it was 90 F inside. Even without an POE load, that sucker was LOUD. I'd love to have a single 24 port POE switch to run my entire network but my gear is in my home office, under 10' from my desk, so I went with the non-POE version. I plan on putting a POE switch for the cameras in the garage where it can make as much noise as it wants.I have 3 of these switches. Was surprised how loud they were when they get warm. I have There pro gateway, 2- switches, nvr, and BI Server running in a closet That is kept at 70 degrees and i can hear them down the hall with the door closed. There reading 49C and a fan level of 70.
Any idea how much quieter the Noctua Fans are?
So I just got mine and I plugged it in and the noise wasn't so bad on it's own but as soon as I migrated the POE Cams over the fans ran on medium speed. Gonna move forward and purchase the Noctura's. Did your switch come in?I ordered from B&H, so waiting just like you. I am going to bench test it first, but I am putting the Noctua fans in.
I just looked a little closer at that rack photo and noticed you have some sort of custom rack mount for the unifi security gateway.I actually got one of the screws to be almost flush by using a dremel at first but it wasn't worth the time. It's rack mounted anyway and not noticeable. I love it that it's only as loud as my 16 was. I am using all 4 fans without the LNA's. These fans rock!
