Supermicro MB X8DT3-F cpu temp 'Low'

[Exilepc]

I have a X8DT3-F with 2x xeon e5620 and 48 gb of ram, 18 drives + 2 parity (40 tb useable) 512gb SSD cache and 500 gb SSD unsigned for deluge. (latest Bios, IPMI, and Stable UnRIAD (IPMI tools installed))

 

I am having an issue randomly the alarm sounds and the fans go full blast, but nothing is reported via IPMI. The only thing I can think of is there is a CPU temp error as they only display as 'Low'. I have also noted that docker actions (create, update, start and store) are extremely slow and even with 1 or 2 small lightweight dockers running CPU load is maxed on random CPU cores. I am thinking that the cheap CPU cooler is causing the temps to get high then having to over correct, but as I cant get a temp other then 'low' I am not 100%.

 

Any advice or direction would be great.

this is normal for x8 generation boards.

take a look at your fan's thresholds. if fan ran below low value, then server thinks its dead, and turns it on on full speed.

adjust your thresholds with ipmitool or similar.
