Re: HPE Proliant DL380 Gen 9 Fans go CRAZY with add-on video card

Each of those might be different outputs on the card (HDMI and displayport).

I don't know of any fixes for the fan issue.  These server platforms appear to have certain "trigger" hardware for mandatory high airflow and apparently you're dealing with one.  Is your server located in a datacenter?  Lab server?  Homelab?

Figured it out.

 

What threw me off was that the fans made no noise until Linux {fully} booted. What I mean is at it booted and loaded everyhting it was all fine.

Needless to say, it turned out to be the default installed nouveau driver.

So... Just wanted to update that in case anyone installs Linux using pass through GRID K1 and ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM goes fans. Keep it {GRID} disabled and remove nouveau then enable GRID and go from there.

I apologize I never saw this!

 

It is a home LAB type thing... But I did figure it out.
