Hello everyone: I have a T640 here and can't get it anywhere near to silent. It's equipped with two "Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4114 CPU @ 2.20GHz" CPUs, a BOSS System for the OS and nine 4TB NL-SAS disks. System profile is set to "OS DBPM" and /proc/cpuinfo shows 800MHz for all cores, when nothing CPU intensive is running. However, fans are always running with at least 50%.
OK, this machine will end up in a server room, and I already learned from the DELL hotline that this should be normal since the chip-set temperature causes the fans to run as fast as they do. So my real question is: has anyone out there experience with the noise level of a T440? I plan to order the T440 with the same two CPUs as above, plus BOSS card, only two 2.5" 2TB disks, additionally a QuadPort 1Gb network adapter. Maybe a GPU card (low to mid performance). The DELL shop advertises it as "Powerful, expandable and quiet", and I'd like to verify the "quiet". Other hints are also welcome. Thanks in advance, Peter
