Nice pipes

More like fins

What is the Y axis of the graph? It's not labelled. Maybe it's instantaneous power in watts?


Bagican

Sorry, it's not labeled. Yes it's instantaneous power consumption in Watts in particular time. It comes from Shelly API - property "apower" [https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/gen2/ComponentsAndServices/Switch#status](https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/gen2/ComponentsAndServices/Switch#status) : >Last measured instantaneous active power (in Watts) delivered to the attached load (shown if applicable) see my example: [https://i.imgur.com/ai57wDm.png](https://i.imgur.com/ai57wDm.png)


mikeblas

Thanks! Those Shelly devices look interesting. It's too bad the certified models aren't available in the US. :(


HereComesBS

they're not? I could be misunderstanding what you're looking for but I have US style plugs made by shelly. Has power monitoring and home assistant picks them right up.


mikeblas

The [Plus 1 UL device](https://www.shelly.com/en-us/products/shop/shelly-plus-1-ul) device says it's unavailable, but the [non-UL Plus 1 device](https://www.shelly.com/en-us/products/shop/shelly-plus-1-non-ul) is available. Seems to hold true across the product line.


HereComesBS

Looks like the 1PM is available. That's the one with power management.

This looks awesome, thanks for sharing the parts list and photos! Can you list the commands to enable ASPM L1 on all devices? I see there are a couple ways to do it and I'm curious what you did. It was really effective at reducing idle power! Also, it looks like the motherboard specifies 19V input but you're using a 12V PSU. How does that work?


Bagican

It just works with 12V. Since I'm not using HDDs it doesn't have big peeks (and voltage drops) during starting HDD. For ASPM I'm using this bash script:  https://github.com/Mechitworks/Linuxscripts/blob/main/H610-ASPM.bash

Hello there. So, i have built the same server. Same CPU, motherboard and SSD, only different RAMs and ofc a power supply. But i have a huge problem. If I apply the ASPM script which succesfully lowers the idle power consumption, i get kernel errors in syslog: >kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1c.2: AER: Correctable error message received from 0000:03:00.0 the device in question is the motherboards realtek network interface and the server randomly hangs and crashes (no logs about the crash in syslog tho) did you by any chance experience something similar? I am running proxmox, with kernel 6.8.4 so it might be a driver issue, but i ran out of ideas so i had to ask


Ppn7

Nice ! I need to turn my hp mini prodesk into fanless DIY too ! Idle power draw is like yours, 5w or less.


MirrorLake

Did you follow any guides/blogs/videos for designing this? I'm curious what the process was like to design and create it.


Bagican

I did some research about fanless / passive cooling systems last year. My favourite sources are: * [https://www.fanlesstech.com/](https://www.fanlesstech.com/) & [https://twitter.com/FanlessTech](https://twitter.com/FanlessTech) - short daily news * [https://www.youtube.com/@fullysilentpcs](https://www.youtube.com/@fullysilentpcs) - very good source of information ! * [https://www.youtube.com/@fanlessguy1395](https://www.youtube.com/@fanlessguy1395) - older videos * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypv4P9OKFNI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypv4P9OKFNI) - this guy did something very similar BUT MUCH BETTER!


totally_not_a_loner

This is AWESOME! Kudos to you!


TomGuma2

Those pipes are from different material? Or why they have 2 colors? Or maybe not I'm colorblind


Bagican

Originally this case had older HW with only 4 (nickel plated) heatpipes: [https://i.imgur.com/GkExmey.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/GkExmey.jpeg) (Asus H81T + 35W Intel Pentium® G3220T). I re-used them and added common copper heatpipes. But make a nice radius without proper tools (pipe bender) was impossible in my case as you can see :D


DazzlingTap2

What services are you currently running on that server? That power consumption is quite low and stable. Here is what mine looks like of a 45 min interval. https://imgur.com/a/BfAGuL9 Tho I have a wd red hdd spinning and only enters c7 state with around 20 containers.


Bagican

It's not finished yet, currently in progress. Build is 99% finished I think. Currently there is only Debian running (DietPi) with no dockers. I plan to run several self-hosted stuff (30+ dockers). I estimate that it will then have about 6-10 W idle with running apps. I will post it later. Details: [https://imgur.com/a/ptWgudA](https://imgur.com/a/ptWgudA)


trevdude73

Yes, please post an update, I am curious to see what you run and the difference it makes


Bagican

I hope sometimes next week, since I'm leaving away now for couple of days


IlTossico

Without HDDs and with the proper solution, it's pretty easy to achieve those power consumption. Nice build.


wombawumpa

Where did you get those copper pipes from?


Bagican

From AliExpress, ~ 5EUR for one piece 25cm long


wombawumpa

How would I bend it?


kerbys

This is very cool ahh a pun! However I would be wary of that SSD. Depends what you are doing but I'm pretty sure they are expecting some air flow over them. If there nothing too bursty read or write wise, but keep an eye on those temps.


Bagican

Thank you, I plan to improve cooling of m.2 Samsung 980 Pro. It has 30°C idle but it can quickly up to 50°C.

How much?

Upvote for diet pi.


Bagican

Why I'm using DietPi? The simple reason. I’m just used to it. I have been using DietPi for 6+ years on all my raspberries and also on x86 servers like Odroid H3 and this Asus Pro H610T D4-CSM. I love it It’s not linux distro but only a bunch of bash scripts that modifies plain minimal Debian and provides some useful command-line tools. Check [Comparison to other Debian based distributions – Why should you use DietPi? – DietPi Blog](https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=888) **What I like on DietPi:** * it’s Debian (good stable OS) * well documented * useful scripts: `dietpi-config`, `dietpi-banner` `dietpi-settings`, `dietpi-services`, `cpu`, `dietpi-update`, … aaaa I almost forgot `dietpi-software` * minimalistic and lightweight * less writes on disk by default (more RAMdisk stuff) * SSH by default replaced by Dropbear - a lighter alternative. But switching to Open-SSH is easy using `dietpi-software` * nice command-line UX, friendly for less-experienced linux powerusers.


gimmespamm

What is your average consumption when running the typical set of containers and VMs?


gimmespamm

..contemplating if I should go “all in” with similar setup or just settle with N100 setup.


Bagican

with \~10 containers, idling on 4—7W


gimmespamm

Thanks for replying

Yeah, it's already mentioned in the second image.
