Lenovo M720q Home Server

Finished building my home server, big thanks to the community here for all the project showcases and guidance. Enjoyed the build process.

Found the M720q off goodwill, and worked on it part by part to get it here.

CPU: i5-9500
GPU: Nvidia Tesla P4
32GB RAM
170W Power supply

Got a 5015 blower fan, which is powered by a 5->12V USB booster, and the speed is controlled via Serial commands using a RP2040 (you can see the little board behind the machine). A daemon on startup keeps an eye on GPU temps and controls the fan accordingly. GPU sits at ~65° (~70W) on full load. The CPU has the stock cooler so that does get a bit warm, might need to look at that.

The 3D printed case is community sourced print files, modified to fit the fan. Still needs a bit of work. I primarily use it for my fun software projects, local LLM machine (7B models), machine learning (data and vision), light gaming via Steam Link streamed to my Mac.

Thanks again for all the help!

SuperSix Evo CX/SE Chainline Help

Hello, I have a SuperSix Evo CX, which came stock with the SRAM Force 11. LBS installed a 10-42, which was paired with a 40t front chainring on a Cannondale One crankset. After a few years, I decided to upgrade to a mullet setup, so an Eagle X01 rear derailleur, a 10-52 cassette, SRAM Force levers. Given I had so much range, I decided to swap the 40t front for a 44t chainring (Cannondale OPI SpideRing X-Sync). I believe the 40 and 44 the same kind of chainring, just a different size. Everything worked, happy days. But recently I'm having issues with the smallest cog, (44–10), it keeps trying to jump to the bigger cog. LBS and I have tried all kinds of adjustments, but it doesn't seem to have any impact. Also, despite all micro-adjustments, a few others cogs in the middle of the block also sounds a bit rough. Our current thinking is that the chainline isn't ideal, so we might need to switch to a SRAM Ai offset crankset.

Has anyone installed a similar Eagle 10-52 setup on their CX/SE? Have you experience similar issues? Also, any advice on if the chainline could the be the cause?
