install Windows Server 2008 64bit at Proliant DL380 G4

After Windows Server 2008 installation, the fans run at full speed (no stop after 1 hour).

The templature is very cool.

Very very noisy. The sound level like the moment when the server powers up in the first few seconds. The noise goes down during bios stage. When the Window logon screen come up, the noise goes up again.

Any settings in Windows Server 2008? Thanks a lot.

Just post a screenshot of your Performance monitor, also your resource details Like RAM, Processor , etc...

Even the fan speeds down after POST Still such issue may occur when there is a improper ventillation are Poor contact between Processor and Heatsink. Which may get triggered when the CPU Utilization is high.
