Freebee was built with the goal of creating a powerful server that is as free as possible.
The CPU coolers were mounted as described in be quiet! Dark Rock Pro TR4 and the outer fan of the left cooler was replaced with a 120mm be quiet! Silent Wings 3 PWM fan.
A quiet Noctua NF-A8 PWM was attached to the Northbridge with two cable ties and its PWM pin was isolated to follow the wiki's recommendation for fan output.
The PSU in this chassis must be installed with the fan facing upward because some of the included cables would be too short otherwise.
