DL180 Gen 9

Good day guys!

 

I have a DL180 Gen9 that we are using for a student project.  I know there are well known issues with fan speeds in the DL 180 G9, but I was wondering if there is any way that we can address it further. The server is fully updated, so now the fan speed is stuck in the mid 30% if I add a GPU or 10Gb NIC, but I was hoping to lower this more.  Without the cards inserted, the fans are barely audible.

I know this isn't exactly a supported configuration, but please could someone assist?  I'm willing to try anything.
