Upgrade Cooling on LSI 9207-8i

[nyxynyx]

I think my LSI 9207-8i HBA card might be overheating, causing a lot of read errors after running an overnight database workload, so I am thinking of trying to reapply the thermal paste, and maybe even change to a better heatsink or add a fan to the heatsink. There is no thermocouple or FLIR cameras around for me to check the HBA heatsink temps.

Does anyone have experience upgrading the heatsink or adding a fan to LSI HBA cards? Which heatsink/fan have do you recommend?

Thanks!

status: One or more devices are faulted in response to persistent errors.
    Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a
    degraded state.
action: Replace the faulted device, or use 'zpool clear' to mark the device
    repaired.
