we have two identical server R220, except one with E3-1220 and other with E-1230. I am trying to run them with very low power and noise, so I've disabled turbo-mode and hyper-threading on E3-1230, thus making it very similar to E3-1220.
But... here is CPU temp and fans speed on one server
ID | Name | Type | Reading | Units | Event
7 | Sys Fan1 | Fan | 3480.00 | RPM | 'OK'
8 | Sys Fan2 | Fan | 3480.00 | RPM | 'OK'
9 | Sys Fan3 | Fan | 3360.00 | RPM | 'OK'
10 | Inlet Temp | Temperature | 26.00 | C | 'OK'
72 | Temp | Temperature | 36.00 | C | 'OK'
and here is on another
7 | Sys Fan1 | Fan | 8640.00 | RPM | 'OK'
8 | Sys Fan2 | Fan | 8880.00 | RPM | 'OK'
9 | Sys Fan3 | Fan | 3120.00 | RPM | 'OK'
10 | Inlet Temp | Temperature | 23.00 | C | 'OK'
72 | Temp | Temperature | 28.00 | C | 'OK'
I've tried all possible ways to bring Temp to 30+C so the fans will run at 3K: updated BIOS, iDRAC, replaced fans, replaced MB too. Apparently this MB does not have chip for OS to regulate fans speed.
Any insight and recommendation are appreciated
Thanks
