First specs of my system:
So I went and purchased three new fans. I got three Noctua NF-F12 PWM fans which have 4-pin connectors and can be PWM controlled. I installed them and selected "Optimal" Fan Mode in the BIOS because I want my server to be as quiet as possible.
Unfortunately things haven't turned out well, the fans keep ramping up and down with 10-15 second intervals. Is there any way I can solve this problem? I found a thread to control fan speeds through IPMI but that only works on the X11 range of motherboards.
Second problem: the "Fan Mode" configuration option doesn't show up for me in the IPMI web interface as shown below. Is there a way to enable it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
