DL320e Gen8 v2 fan noise
I recently purchased a brand new DL320e Gen8 v2 and have installed VMware-ESXi-5.1.0-Update1-1065491-HP-5.50.26 onto the embedded internal microSD slot. There are no internal drives or expansion cards of any type installed. ItтАЩs running the latest available iLO and Bios versions.
The fan noise is ridiculously loud with the fan speeds reporting 80-85% most of the time at post and when the OS has booted. I think the temperatures reported all seem quite normal, in the example below the office aircon had been turned off for the weekend so inlet was a little warmer than normal.
IтАЩve tried a number of different power profiles bios and also checked тАЬOptimal coolingтАЭ was ser. Have also tried OS control and static settings with little effect.
IтАЩve logged a HP case and they are sending somebody to change the motherboard when the parts arrive. Apparently this model is so new there are no spares yet in Australia. I really dubious about it being a hardware fault. Any suggestions ?
Here are the temps and fan speeds from iLO.

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

Re: DL320e Gen8 v2 fan noise
There is a new P80 ROM dated 2013.11.08 that reduces the FAN speed.

This is document instructs one to use fake raid as a workaround and confirms that there is a thermal control bug when used in regular AHCI mode. It is not a resolution to the issue described here. All this is well known from the MicroServer threads. Not an acceptable resolution IMO. If we are going to use software RAID (which the "B120i driver" is), then we are going to use something standard and that offers additional features such as ZFS.

I would like to make anyone concerned aware that this is not really a resolution. My DL320e Gen8 v2 runs on this particular version of firmware and the fans go at roughly 33-37% with Smart Array B120i set to enabled but without the hpvsa driver (I run Debian for which there is no driver available). If I switch to AHCI mode the noise becomes even worse.
Are there any news of any upcoming firmware updates for the Gen8 family?

Re: DL320e Gen8 v2 fan noise
On mine in AHCI mode or with no drives in (using an LSI controller instead), I am still about 30-35% fans. No OS driver (debian).
Here are some other comments on the DL320e v2 controller

Re: DL320e Gen8 v2 fan noise
So it seems a new ROM was published for the MicroServer family (see this message). Is there any news of the same for DL320e Gen8 v2?
That would be great to hear.

Re: DL320e Gen8 v2 fan noise
Just to keep everyone updated: the issue is being worked on (see this message by Jimmy Vance). Not all people are following that Microserver thread so I thought I'd just bring the news here.
