Hello,
I just received a new Asus ESC8000 G4 box and equipped it with 2 Xeon Gold 6154. The case comes with 3 PSU which I all connected to power. I really like this particular server for my Deep learning work.
But those things bother me which I need to figure out and thought someone might chime in:
1) the psu fans are quite loud. I have 10 gpu fans and multiple cpu and system fans and I can regulate all of them in the bios and they are not loud at all under normal load. With normal I mean when gpus are in idle mode and do not draw much power neither do the CPUs when idling. But the psu fans are very loud and don't quiet down. Is there a bios setting I should check out or anyone with experience in this area who can give me some advice?
2) the idle operating temperature of the cpu cores is around 38-40 degrees. (room temperature is around 15 degrees a Celsius) That appears a little high for me but still manageable. However a second or so after starting a cpu stress test the CPU core temperatures jumps right to high 80s. Is that normal to happen that fast? I have highly efficient cpu coolers with fans on each one. I am afraid that the stock thermal patch between cpu and cooler that aims to dissipate heat away from the CPU onto the cooler might not be efficient? I have not used any 3rd party thermal paste, the patch was already attached to the cpu cooler and according to the manual of my server there is no additional thermal paste necessary. Am I doing something wrong? Under heavy load the CPU core Temps show as high 80s, but the CPU cooler is literally cold. So I suspect there is an issue with heat dissipation? Any advice or thoughts? Again it's a Xeon Gold 6154 dual CPU setup.
