Re: DL320e Gen8 v2 fan noise

I found the answer without any help from HP. HP seem intent on sending a technician out to replace the motherboard and fan assemblies which now seems ludicrous.
 
The issue appears to be caused by a bug in the B120i RAID controller affecting other Gen8 products such as the Gen8 Microservers. I found this after much googling:

If the B120i controller is disabled or set to Intel ACHI mode the high fan speeds >75% persist. If a hard disk is connected and a valid array created on the B120i controller the fan speeds drop to less than 10% making the server almost inaudible.
I wasn't intending to have any hard disks in this server as was intending to boot from the on-board micro-SD card. I've inserted an old 2.5 laptop drive and created an array to shut up the fan noise. Obviously this is not ideal as I've removed the hard drive blanks from the front of the case.

I hope HP can provide an alternative solution that will address this bug.
