HP DL Server Fan speed

2005-12-21 Thread Steve Murdoch

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
40x28!
