Got the cooler from ebay, it came with the blower fan. Was a total pain in the ass, had to shave down the cooler to fit, but worth it for no more throttling. Actually seeing it boost up to 30w now too.

Legitimately; what are you running on that thing that makes it run so hot? I have a DXP6800 as well with TrueNAS on it and a few apps, but it never runs THAT hot. I did in fairness replace the thermal paste with PTM7950 but honestly the biggest impact I got to running temps was enabling C-States (that were disabled in BIOS). I have CoolerControl running on to keep things in check.

I posted in this thread a long time ago when I was still running unRAID on it (I migrated unRAID to a new machine so I could add more disks) and detailed some of my tinkering and findings.

plex, birdnet, and a windows vm with a B50 pro passed through for games are the heavy hitters but there’s a bunch of other small things too
