I just have bought 02 new Dell R430 1U servers on October 2016 (2 x Xeon E5-2630v3, 64 GBRAM and 04 SAS harddisks). BIOS and iDRAC have been updated to the newest versions (BIOS: 2.2.5. and iDRAC 2.41.40.40). The installed OS is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server without any extra service (LAMP, PostgreSQL,...)
When in idle status (both servers):
- CPU1 and CPU2 temperatures: 55oC (but System Board Inlet Temp still 27oC). When I touch the chassis at back panel, it's rather warm.
- Ambient temperature: 18oC
- Fans speed: 1560 RPM (except Fan2A and 2B at 2100 RPM)
- Power consumtion: 77 Watt
- Themarl profile: Default Themal Profile Setting
- Fan speed offset: Off
- BIOS -> System Profile Setting -> Performance Per Watt (DAPC) , C1E -Enabled, C State - Enabled
When I set Fan speed offset to "Low Fan speed (+35%), the fans run at 7500 RPM and the CPU temperature go down to 40oC.
So how can I lower down the CPU temperature to about 30oC, I dont think that 55oC is normal. I have other IBM x3650 M3. Their CPU temperatures is about 35oC in average load.
