Hey Everyone,

 

I have a supermicro X11DPH-T motherboard that I am putting in a 847 chassis that currently has stock 7000rpm (I think) fans. I figure this will sound like a jet engine when I get everything together.

 

I've done the noctua 80mm swap in my 846 and not interested in building fan walls.

 

I am just learning about IPMI and this board has it. I am moving my current unraid install to this new board and chassis.

 

I will get the board tomorrow and this will be my weekend project. I was wondering if anyone is using IPMI to manage the fan speeds in thier chassis, and if it possible to slow them down 30% - 50%?  

 

I have seen some dockers that will integrate with IPMI and wonder if that will be a good option? 

 

I'm fully aware slowing down the speeds will mess with the cooling capability. I plan on getting cpu coolers with fans on them and I currently use a 3x 140mm AC infinity fan shroud on the front of my 846, I am moving it over to the 847. SI have some backup things up my sleeve to help the cooling.

 

I just have my server in a cubby next to the kitchen and I don't want this to running stock 7000-9000 RPM fans at full speed at any given moment. I can tolerate something around 3000rpm.

 

Thanks!

After searching the internet for a similar sound problem with my supermicro X10 board, I found and implemented the following script after using nerdtools to install ipmi tools.

 

Quote

#!/bin/bash
#set fans to full speed
ipmitool raw 0x30 0x45 0x01 0x01
sleep 10
#set 'system' fan zone to 30%
ipmitool raw 0x30 0x70 0x66 0x01 0x00 0x1E
sleep 10
#set 'peripheral' fan zone to 30%
ipmitool raw 0x30 0x70 0x66 0x01 0x01 0x1E
