Anything that isn't recommended in a business environment isn't suitable as an answer. SF is a bit of a special case in the SE world overall, because we're about "professional" system administration, which significantly changes the dynamic from every other SE site. | |

| May 12, 2020 at 8:03 | comment | added | Mark Booth | Thanks womble, that's a little more harsh than I'd apply on Robotics, but I can see why you made this decision. I agree with with the point about modifying in warranty servers, but I think the context here is for home lab use, with servers bought after they come out of warranty. Even so, my own solution was to make up new cables and add the resistors in there rather than modify the fans, which meant that I was able to remove the hack when I'd confirmed it didn't work well enough for my liking. | |
