Dell Poweredge 2950 Question?
As a donation I revived a Dell poweredge 2850 and 2950. I have little room so I was wondering how to make them a little quieter. My fans constantly run at about 6k even with only 2 1gb ram stick and 1 processor. It skyrockets when the other 6 sticks and processor on the 2950. Anyone have any luck in making either of these quieter?
The temps are reading at 18C
Check the temp readings in BIOS. The fans do not go full blast unless processor is hot. If BIOS indicates processor is HOT, clean the cooler and fans. You may have to remove cooler to be able to fully clean it. Apply fresh thermal paste when reinstalling cooler.
If temps are low but cooler goes full blast, check/adjust fan control settings in BIOS. If still noisy, you may have to replace fan with a quieter model.
