Fan noise in a DL380

[Max90]

I have a problem.
Every 15-20 minutes the server fans start running at 70-80% of full speed for approximately 40 seconds, then slow down to normal (quiet) speed for 15-20 minutes and cycle again.
The BIOS version is 1.36 of February 2018, I tried to update in online mode on windows server 2016 but without success (error before installation). I would now like to try to do the offline update (version 2.42 feb2021) using this method:

do you say it will work?

Hello,

This should work. In addition, you may also connect the USB drive to iLO and use the iLO Virtual Media, containing the bootable BIOS update image and boot from it.

Hello,

I would suggest you, offline update.

Boot the server from the ISO image of SPP and update.
