Hello!
I have a Dell R330 that has been running for maybe 8 months now. Just serving as a basic ESX host. It has always ran very cool and with fans on low speed is very bearable. About 2 months ago I put a Mellanox Connect 3 10G card into it. It ran fine for maybe a week but now the fans have decided to kick themselves up a notch and are screaming pretty good at the medium to high level. They don't seem to ever spin down. I can see the 10G card adding a little heat, but the temps as reported form the iDRAC all seem fine. Does anyone know if there's a way to adjust the fan settings to get them to spin back down to reasonable? Thanks!
