Oscar,
Thanks for the response, mine also has 2 processors installed (E5520) which were installed at the same time along with 3 fans. I have also tried adding a forth fan at which point they all then run at 21% instead of 3 at 25%, but it still seems overkill and noisy.
It has the latest BIOS, iLO and power controller firmware and the Thermal Configuration setting is also set to Optimal Cooling.
The system is running ESXi 5.0.0 Update 3 and is the custom image from HP for this server, but I have also tried Server 2012 R2 to see if running that with the latest drivers and software cures the fan speeds, but unfortunately it does not.
Any ideas?
Kind Regards
Josh
