HPE Microserver Gen 8 or 10 ? Power-consumption and Noise-Control

[claib]

Hi all
After years on a little Asrock, i'm looking forward to build up a new server with the capacity to have more SATA disks and more than just one ETH interface.
I love the concept of HP micro servers, and from technical perspective they sure meet my requirements.
As i have my NAS in a cabinet in my living room, it needs to be as silent as possible.
Are there known hacks to silence the HP microservers ? - or is fancontrol and power-consumption control a proprietary mess with HP ?
Any solutions ?

merci mille
Christoph

HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus are pretty silent out of the box.
For my DL20 Proxmox host, I had to install some firmware to get the fans down.
Biggest "problem" I have is HDD noise. That is why I plan on building a sound dampened Fractal case and hope to get the noise down. I definitely could not tolerate a HPE server in my living room, but I am pretty sensitive regarding noise.
