tonnycassidy25 · Sep 27, 2015

why is intel stock cooler makes a lot of noise,that i have to connect noctua fan connector to make it quiet,any cpu cooler recommendation ? the cpu used here is only a xeon E3 1220 ,i thought it wouldnt make lots of heat compared to 4790k on my pc

Most server fans are very loud. Typically you lock servers in their own room and rarely go in there so noise is not considered an issue on most servers.

What kind of case is the server in?

Not a bad looking case.

Replace the Server style fan(s) with after market fans and your ears will thank you and you should still be able to get decent cooling performance.

How fast does the fan spin? How is the fan configured in the BIOS? The fan is loud only if it spins at full speed.

not quite sure ,how can i check it

GhislainG · Sep 27, 2015

Go in the BIOS and check the fan settings. You're the only one who knows what motherboard you bought.

GhislainG :

i cant find the rpm but the fan profile is set to performance

JQB45 · Sep 27, 2015

Performance = Loud, set it to Normal or something similar.

GhislainG · Sep 27, 2015

Therefore you chose the profile that keeps the fan at full speed. There are other settings that won't force it to always run at full speed.

JQB45 :

i set it to acoustic now

tonnycassidy25 · Sep 27, 2015

GhislainG :

its the default

GhislainG · Sep 27, 2015

And the only setting?

tonnycassidy25 · Sep 27, 2015

GhislainG :

performance and acoustic,i set it to acoustic now

GhislainG · Sep 27, 2015

And it's quieter?

tonnycassidy25 · Sep 27, 2015

GhislainG :

a little bit,but not too much difference

GhislainG · Sep 27, 2015

Check how fast it runs, but since the motherboard doesn't offer a quiet option, then replacing it may be the only option.

tonnycassidy25 · Sep 27, 2015

GhislainG :

cant find the rpm,even with open hardware monitor

GhislainG · Sep 27, 2015

It often can be checked in the BIOS, but a server motherboard may be different.
