Ready-to-run server for home labs

This fully assembled 45Drives HL8 chassis arrives with a B550I AORUS PRO AX 1.0 motherboard, an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G 8-core processor at 3.8 GHz base and 4.6 GHz boost, 64GB DIMM memory, and a 1TB Kingston NV2 boot drive running Rocky Linux with Houston UI. Eight hot-swap bays back a direct-wired SATA backplane for high-capacity media storage. The 5U desktop form factor fits standard shelves.

Noctua cooler and Gold PSU keep thermals steady

A Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 heatsink handles CPU heat in the compact 11.92"L x 7.93"W x 7.84"H enclosure, aided by two 40mm fans. The FLEX GURU 500W 80 Plus Gold power supply delivers efficient, stable power under sustained loads. Steel construction adds mass for vibration damping at 22 LBS. Acoustic profile suits quiet home or office environments.

Micro-ATX board limits expansion to storage

Motherboard compatibility covers Micro ATX, ATX, Mini ITX and CEB, yet the installed B550I ITX board offers a single PCIe slot, so add-in cards beyond the backplane are not practical. Eight front hot-swap trays enable drive changes without tools or shutdown. Builders who need multiple GPU slots, extra NICs or HBA cards should choose a different platform.

Questions about this item

How do I install the B550I AORUS PRO AX 1.0 motherboard into the 5U desktop chassis, and what step is often missed?

Mount the motherboard using the Micro ATX standoff pattern, connect the 8-pin CPU and 24-pin ATX cables from the FLEX GURU 500W supply, then seat the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 cooler — the step most often missed is plugging the 40mm fan headers into the board before closing the side panel.

What maintenance or replacement will the FLEX GURU 500W 80 Plus Gold power supply and the two 40mm fans need later?

The 500W unit should run for years without service; plan to clean dust from the two 40mm fans every six months and replace them if bearing noise appears — no other user-serviceable parts are inside the supply.

What thermal limit appears first when the Ryzen 7 5700G runs at 4.6 GHz turbo inside the HL8 with the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 cooler?

The low-profile Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 reaches its dissipation ceiling before the CPU hits its own throttle point, so sustained 4.6 GHz loads will see core temperatures climb until the cooler saturates.
