Everyone, I know the music was too loud. I don't need to be reminded about it every week, if I could change it I would but that's not how RU-vid works.
This is what I have done in the past when I used servers as a "desktop PC" role. It works pretty well too! Dual CPU systems with consumer GPU and life is cherry. A budget system, tons of ram, dual CPUs, everything you need to make a budget gaming rig on the EXTREME side of cheap. K-80's are drop in. Throw in a cheap Quadro, and your golden.
While it's clear your "not sure" in how to change the configuration of the cooling option. It's also clear that you don't know the ramifications. Optimal cooling is basically the silent option that you may get in a desktop. The fan spin at low speed. They're quite.! Now the down side..... The low fan speeddrives up temperature on the entire system and can reach over 70+ oC. Your PCI card can also cook themselves. And generally you will lower the life of the entire system, the hard drives should be okay. Optimal, and as we know servers are designed for AC controlled server rooms.. this cooled and well vented room allows for all heat and cool room environments work.. You also should set the server to "low power" in the bios settings. This reduces power, performance of the system to cope with your quiet server requirements. If you want a quiet server get a server rack and put sound proof/dampener into it.. get one with a glass door. Install a external temp intake pipe, and a rack exit (heat) pipe. Buy two OSB boards, cut them to fit around the rack leaving 8 inches all around. Add sound proofing to the outside as a foam cover and then cover that to match something like home decor. Use the fan and volumes calculation with the thermal conductivity and requirements. Don't cook you server and it's hardware... Also if auto focus dosent work well, try manual.. works better for some things... With over 30 years experience and many qualifications; as a consultant people do and want my instruction. You've not really thought about what you're doing and results of what you're suggesting.
I recently got a hp proliant DL120 G6 but the fans spin 100% even when CPU temps aren't higher then 50 degrees Celsius surely that isn't supposed to be like that. What other options are there to make sure the fans quiet down some what that would be save to not cook the hardware. As it is winter the basement where the server is is now 15 degrees Celsius so other hardware isn't overheating either.
@@The_oli4 check the cooling settings in the bios. You may have a fault on any hardware, including a dirty bus connection which is causing the system to not detect something and thus run the fans at full speed. Check all your hardware and the NB/SB chips, they may need new TP.
Video is mistitled . This applies to this particular server but not all brands of servers. It's just a BIOS change, not like a rebuild or replacement of fans to quiet the server. The "your" in the title does not apply other than as clickbait. It should read "HP Server" or similar.
One interesting thing, it happen to me on some older HP, in my case server was loud until i power both power supplies. I had one server that go full burst when have single PSU powered (was in power failure mode) - after connecting both PSU (to same socked, i did not have two phase system) - it went into normal mode and went quiet. I believe both PSU share load and don’t require much cooling in compare to situation that one is carrying whole server. It’s just interesting thing that happen to me and maybe help someone.
Were you saying anything?, I could not hear your voice over the music. If you don't want to hear about it over and over again, delete the video from RU-vid, load the video into your editor, remove all the sound and record your voice on top of the video and upload again.
I think it's hilarious you are getting angry at people for talking about the music in your video. That's not how RU-vid works, if you want to be a RU-vidr prepare for criticism.
Wow the arrogance of the creator is amazing. "that's not how RU-vid works" Actually isn't not. There's nothing that says you must have background music in your video. "Do you really think that I care enough to do all that. Because I don't" Why even bother making videos then? Just doing it thinking you'll get rich? ROFL, people are going to hear the loud music and find another video.
People generally dont make much or anything relevant from youtube itself unless theyre in the top viewed. Even millions of views can amount to only a few thousand dollars.
awesome video, i have a question from you, how is the server noise under moderate load?, I'm planning on getting a hp dl380 g9 for my home lab, and the server rack is going to be placed on my room, and it's not going to be on 24/7
I Have a server that is pretty loud and tried to do the same thing as in the video but it didn't make any difference. Im guessing that the problem could be that the fans of my server are hooked up to a separate board or that that board is only connected via a 3 pin header to the motherboard. In any case if someone has knowledge and time to help me i would be more than happy.
thanks for the tip. I was able to hear and understand everything u said. Not sure why these ungrateful fault finding people are making such a big issue about the music...smh!
Different devices play the frequencies at different volumes...mobiles are good at removing the lower frequencies but good systems play the range and can make the music seem louder than phones....but really it's a frequency issue
Hello, I have tried on the DL380p Gen8 and it's still loud, it's quitier but for some reason it doesn't stop all the fans even if the temperatures are low (25 Celsius). I think the chip which controls the HDDs is really warm so the computer tries to solve it, I don't know if this is going to be your case. I hope it helps, if you find another solution, please let me know because I haven't.
Hi.First I want to thank you for your very uplifting videos. I am IT support in a structure. I have a problem. in our company we use a proliant HP L380 Gen9 server. However, for about 2 weeks, the server which is never shut down has behaved strangely. Indeed from time to time the fan of the server turns at high speed becoming noisy and stops a few moments later. this happens permanently at least 10 times a day. please i would like your assistance this situation is too stressful. Thanks in advance.
I would monitor the CPU temps to see if it's getting too hot, I think the fans may be truing to high because the CPU is hitting high temps. If so, then change the thermal config mode of the server to better suit your situation. You could also open up the server and see if there is any dust build up or something else that's going wrong or inhibiting the cooling process. I hope that helped, best wishes.
For anyone else who happens across this, this behavior also it happened to me when a fan was failing (I replaced with a refurb off ebay nice and cheap)
@@NeoChipzter or, if you happen to come across this and you have aftermarket fans, it is the case that the fans start spinning at lower RPMs because the temp inside the case is low, and IPMI/ILO thinks the fan is failing because it has hit the lower threshold. They then ramp up the speed to save the machine (or so they think). Then the fan starts spinning down again because the machine is actually running cool, and it hits the lower threshold again and the process repeats. My supermicros do that when they are cold, in room temperature they warm up a bit after a while and all is well when the fan starts spinning just above the threshold permanently shortly after they have booted up. Something to keep in mind
server 1 is running cent os, server 2 is running windows server 2016 and server 3 is running xenserver. if you would like more info you can watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ZiKdHZExQQ.html
