Tech Tangents | Full Noctua Fans & New Motherboard - Server Re-Build @TechTangents | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
I was very graciously sent a replacement motherboard for my server to fix the problems with my remote management. But I also needed to replace all my aging, failing, fans in my server. So I decided it was time for a complete tear down and rebuild to put in the new motherboard. And I figured I may as well go full Noctua to try and get the server as quiet as possible.
If you want to try and help me figure out the fan speed settings from Linux, let me give you some info and warnings. This motherboard is a Supermicro X9DRD-iF(Manual: supermicro.com/wdl/ISO_Extracted/CDR-X9_1.30_for_Intel_X9_platform/MANUALS/X9DRD-iF_LF.pdf ) and it does not behave like any other Supermicro X8,X9, or X10 board I've read about. I've tried everything in the following pages:
forums.servethehome.com/index.php?resources/supermicro-x9-x10-x11-fan-speed-control.20
support.siliconmechanics.com/portal/en/kb/articles/changing-fan-speeds-for-x9-x10-series-boards
blog.pcfe.net/hugo/posts/2018-08-14-epyc-ipmi-fans
haphazard.io/blog/setting-custom-fan-thresholds-with-ipmitool
fengler.ca/articles/ipmi.html
I am pretty sure this board is different and needs either a completely different set of bytes to control the fans, or it isn't possible. I'm open to advice, but I've spent a lot of time on this already and really feel like I've exhausted all known options.
