Hi all,
This has been asked a truck load of times in the archives but I
havent found a solution.
HP DL server fans ran flat out all the time.
Any way of slowing them up and quieting them down ?
Does the new ACPI stuff have any impact on this.

Try finding 56ohm inline resistors?
Try running them at 7v ?
Try finding slower speed fans?
My IBMs came with 10Krpm fans and I replaced them with 5K RPM
fans and things still stay cool and much quieter.
Alot of your options depend on exact size. My fans are a weirdo
