You've made my home lab absolutely quiet! I run my Poweredge T320 with E5-2430 on 10% of fan capacity and it's perfect. I was stressing the CPU for good 2 hours and the temperature won't go over 75 celsius. Thanks, thanks, THANKS!
Well done, this works, where everything has failed. At last, I have control over my fan speed. Many thanks Nhan.
Thanks for the simple and to the point video. Saved my ears!
worked with a dell r620. huge thanks for this guide. it just fixed my jet plane
I CAN confirm that this works on 11th Gen Dell Poweredge servers! I tried this on my Dell Poweredge R710 and it dropped my fan speeds from 3720RPM to about 2880RPM. You have earned a like my friend!
Anyone who's interested in purchasing server where you get static fan control purchase one these servers, owned two Dell Poweredge R720 for couple years. After finding this command tool this gentlemen is using truly made world of difference servers run super quiet oppose to them sounding like 747 taking off. Appreciate the great work looking forward to seeing more tips and tricks in the future once again thanks.
Thank you so much! This worked with my Dell R710. I had to enable IPMI over LAN in the iDRAC web interface, and had to manually reset the user password in the iDRAC menu, but after that it worked!
Worked on a r310. I was google so mutch but find nothing that worked. Thank you!
Sir you're my savior, my Dell T130 freaked out when i put an RX570 on the pci slot. And with your video i was able to quiet the fans down. Thanks a lot!
Worked a treat. Thank you so much. Dell Precision Rack 7910 with Quadro GPU install.
Beautiful video. Very well put together. Thank you so much.
I can confirm this works and helped me setup my T420 with a noctua industrial fan mod to run at 1200rpm and keep the temps down while keeping quiet! Cheers!!
Working with R910 and iDrac 6. Thanks sir! ;)
worked as expected! Thanks!
you sir, are legendary 🥰 thank you so much for your help. This helped me lower the noise on my "new" old Dell Poweredge T610 I just got.
just did this on my Dell T610 and worked - thankyou for the video. Been trying to get round to sorting this as the server, to be used for home lab stuff, was too noisey to be left on and as they take so long to powerup anyway I wasnt using it much. It can now purr away in teh corner and is no worse than my desktop (although PSU is a little noisey but still not very long
Thanks for this !! helped me with my R420 :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This worked first try.
Thank you! Worked beautifully. ^_^
PowerEdge r410 works like a charm. Thank you!
it gives me the error. How? I can help you. ( Dell R410 )
It works!! Just like everybody else here. Thank you very much sir !!
Thank you. I had a dell R610 and it was noisy. done exactly what you showed and noise is barely heard. multiple thumps UP!
Hi ive got a R610, just want to know what was the fan speed before and after the fix?
Thank you so much. This worked for my R410 idrac6 2.90.04.
wow prefect description thank you!
You are a gifted teacher. Thank you for sharing this.
Guys FYI:
Was getting this:
error unable to establish ipmi v2 / rmcp+ session
get device command failed
unable to open sdr for reading
For me what fixed it on an r730 was rebooting to the f10 iDrac setting and changing my password to the exact same one as before. I don't know why it worked but it did. Good Luck
Can confirm works fine on my Dell R710 R1 Bios 6.6.0 iDRAC 6. Used 0XA at the end and fans dropped from stock 3240 RPM to 2040RPM, happy with that!
Great help. Thanks !!
I can now hear again. Thanks!
Work great on poweredge R720 Thank you!
This save my ears...working in PowerEdge T130...07/2021.... thanks so much...
worked with precision r7910
Thanks !
Thank you so much. Works on PowerEdge T320
works with poweredge t110 ii ! thank you very much!
Worked in my Dell R610 - many thanks
Most Awesome! Thankss!
Worked with R620 too, Thank bro.
Awesome tutorial thanks
On the R610 idarc6 it worked. Just replace the damaged coolers with excess load. Before 16000 now 3000 rpm. I wanted to change the maximum automatic to the balanced one. Thank you
Thank you so much for this. I was able to slow down my fans in my R610
hello Liam, I'm having problems when trying this on my r610. Would you be open to help me out with this? I'm not very handy at these things. Thanks!
@@hernanc.fioravanti3754 What issue are you running into?
dude thanks so much you just earned a sub
Even though this is a temporary solution for me, im very sensitive to loud noise and it affects my focus to work on my new server. I have a R730 with no problems when it comes to using third party drives, but this R730XD really likes to scream at 65% of its lungs (PWM). Setting down to 15% makes it so i can actually work and figure out a scripted solution based on temperature. Thanks for recommending we explore that option
I have 720xd. It really ramped up the fan with third party hardware.
What a legend thank you
thanks man!!
Nice Job! :) Is this workaround valid for a T620 too?
Currently i use an old idrac version, but when i perform an update its getting loud as hell.
your awesome this works great i ended up turning this into like 3 batch files one at 20% one a 40% and one at 70% comes in handy when i decide to do some encoding with my server im pulling almost 300w off the 2 intel E5-2690 v2 and 20% fan speed only keeps the cpu's to about 85c at 40 its about 75 but if i do it for more then hour it starts to get too hot and alarm goes off so tend to turn to 70 when doing more then 1 or 2 of them and my server is in a closet with next to no ventilation most of its life is in idle as my truenas and jelly fin/plex box with the 16 drives
OMG the noise level drop for my R630 is amazing
Is it possible to have your assistance with c6100 ?? Im desperately trying to speed-up fans and they are at 4500RPM which is not enough
Amazing!, works great on a R410
Glad it helps and thank you for confirming for others
Just to save some people some time, if you have Dell R710 with idrac 6 to enable IPMI at the end of the BIOS boot, press Ctrl-e to enter the Remote Access Setup and enable IPMI over LAN
r240 downgrade iDRAC 3.30.30.30 working fine! thanks a lot!!!
nice one thank you
Worked like a charm! Is it also possible to just increase the temperature threshold leaving the fans in auto mode? So that they run at a lower speed but still increase if the temp goes too high.
you can find various scripts to automate the custom fan management in a proper way
I was able to use this on my old Poweredge T110 II. I actually had the opposite issue. I am setting it up as an Unraid backup server and the hard drives were getting too hot. They were getting up to 48-49 C. I changed the fan speed to 50% and 30 minutes later they are down to 38-40. Thanks!
It seems that when power is removed, the fans go back to their original setting and I have to redo the IPMI commands. Is there a way to make the change permanent?
is the pw and IP address the same in iDRAC log in. and is that where the commands are being sent from the local pc?
Just got my r720XD yesterday and now my server is purring like a kitty! thnks!
God bless you.
Thank you for the Dell Fans Control Command.
Wonder when the temp. ram up, will the Fans increase the speed to cool down the server?
Also, need to re-enter the command after every re-boot :(
This is for homelab, not for production environment. The fan will stay at whatever speed you set. Depends on the operating system you use, you can create a script for it to execute at startup. I believed disabled Life cycle will also retain the static testing.
After I got to playing around with it. This is one sweet video. It works really good .....until you shut the server down and you kill the power and on reboot you are right back to where you started. So how do you make those settings stay?
Obviously you didn’t watch the whole video. It’s not a permanent fix.
Thanks, work in t630
It worked my my dells r510
Thank you so much for this video. Do you know if this will work with the R720?
@@sysadmin102 yes, I tried it and it worked! you are the man!!! thanks a lot!!
Do you know how you can do this on a Dell PowerEdge 2950, under Linux or Windows?
Thanks it worked but if i shutdown system and restart then Fan goes crazy again seems ipmitool settings are resetting after shutdown system. M i doing something wrong ??
Command worked for me...However on restart fan goes mad again...Is their permanant query for same?
If the computer that is in your office sounds like that and it's a dell the bios might have fan speed override on
question, will the fans adjust if the temps get higher? The server I have is 35C. What were your guys temps before and after?
It will not, this is a manual control. My is around 35C as well, but it depends on many factors such as ambient temperature SAS or SATA or SSD drives.
@@sysadmin102 oh okay. Thanks for the reference! I'm using a T440 poweredge and it's barely used. Its just for storing files and the occasional QuickBooks. In that case I think I will be good. Thanks!
@@sysadmin102 btw I'm guessing if I disable the manual fans. It should go back to the original fan speeds?
That's correct, it will reset as well when you restart the server.
not working on R710 any idea ? i get no error but no change in fan speed
Good morning! first thank you for your video, my server is Dell R730XD with OS Windows Server 2019, so i don't see BMC version match for this OS, i tried install Dell OpenManage BMC Utility,v9.2.0 and follow your guide, but it does not work, maybe this version only use for windows server 2016. If you have any advise for my case, please help me, my server is noise while the temperatures around 27 degrees. Thank you!
@@sysadmin102 Good afternoon! thank you for your advise, i just done as following your guide, i will be careful to set step by step from high speed to low speed to avoid over heat. Have a nice weekend!
anyone know if this works on the R610?
will this way work ona dell r510 server thanks
I am receiving this error ipmitool 7048 find_fast_cwd: WARNING: Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer.
Installing on a poweredge 2950
Thank you for this! Now I don't need to wear hearing protection in my own house!
I don't suppose there's a setting to control the fan speed over some reasonable (non ear-splitting) range, according to temperature?
Every desktop and laptop computer made in the last decade has used thermostatic control of fan speeds -- even Dells. How on Earth can it be so hard for Dell's server people?
go into iDRAC - Fans - setup and click 'custom' - 6%
Great video, however when I reboot the server this dont stay. Fans are again high speed, after restart.
Work on Dell R620 ! thanks
error:unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session, reboot R710, ctrl+e entering iDrac setup, then Enabled:IPMI over LAN setting
I can confirm this works with iDrac 6 on the R710
do you see ypur temp?
Thanks anh Nhân, great video, will this work on R900?
Nhan Nguyen yay, thnx , I just got this R900 few days ago for $70 aud, seems booting up fine but sounds like a Boing 747, need to calm it down.
Hi. The information you provided worked. I lowered the fan speeds. Here is a question I want to ask.
no matter how long the processor works, will it always spin at the speed I set? I am using R710.
It would if you don't restart your server. You can disable life cycle. Then it should stay the same even after rebooting
friend I have not been able to make the adjustments of the fans, I always get that insufientes privileges level and then I have everything as adminitrador but nothing, you can help me please

Can seem to get this to work on an R610 with iDrac 6. Cant seem to get the ipmi command to word, it is enabled in the bios
Any luck with the R610?
@Dave Sinclair I've tried this and nothing changed. About 2 weeks ago it finally starting being quite on it's own. Now it's back to being loud again lol
I get Unable to send RAW command (channel=0x0 netfn=0x30 lun=0x0 cmd=0x30 rsp=0xd4): Insuficient priviledge level when I run the cmd to enable static fan control but not when I list the fans.

I am exactly here with a Poweredge T300 Drac5 IPMI 2.0
@@yorickch I believe the creds should be the iDRAC credentials. Default IP - 192.168.0.120. login for iDrac is username: root / Password: calvin.

The tutorial is not working on newer iDRAC versions (the error you get is Insufficient privilege level), I had to downgrade my iDRAC to at most 3.30.30.30. Tested on Dell T140.
Same problem on T140 with 4.00.00.00. How did you downgrade iDRAC?
I did it the short & old-fashioned way. Googled for iDRAC 3.30.30.30, downloaded and installed it on my T140. No problems encountered. After the downgrade, Nhan's procedure works as expected.
@@jankokubkosk Thanks. Now I have the problem that after T140 restart/powerloss fans are loud again.
@@konradd4015 Yes, that's how it works. It the BMC loses power, the fans are back in default settings.
But for me it is enough: Configuration survives OS restarts or server shutdown.
@@jankokubkosk Thank you for support.
I keep getting the error "Error loading interface Ianplus" Anybody know how to fix this?
Edit: system needs to be fully initialised. This works for me while truenas it running
Edit 2: Keep randomly getting the same "Error loading interface Ianplus" when trying to make changes to fan speed. However, if I ran the first command (sensors read out) and then ran the fan control command quickly after it works
Does not work for 14th and 15th generation sadly :(
Is the user and pw used for idrac login or server login?
iDrac
this worked but as soon as you reboot it goes back to high fan noicse. anyway to make it permanent ?
Maybe if you didn’t skip my video you would have known. There is not permanent solution. However if this is your lab, you can disable life cycle or running a custom script at start up
@@sysadmin102 thank you. I’m not sure what changed but somehow now it’s keeping the settings. I’ve tested it and have done several reboots. I just do t know why it’s keeping the settings. Working great.
I did this on my R410 and all commands work but now the server is throwing errors saying Fan missing. Is that normal? ( So I went to 20% instead of the 15 and the errors went away which is super weird but hey it fucking works
Can we disable the fan? Ineed to.disable it for my cooling reseaerch

Hello Ismail, Are you using the credentials for the iDrac or the server? iDrac credentials are needed.
@@344bane My worked for weeks, but then it started getting tougher to work, it wouldn't respond upon initial command. Now it stopped all together and I'm getting the same issue as @Ismail. I did just install a new video card, if anybody has a suggestions please chime in. Thanx
This worked for me (iDRAC7 Dell R420), can I just add this line for those that run into the Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
To resolve ipmi issue, need to change the IPMI over LAN setting from Disabled to **Enabled** in the iDRAC/iLO.
iDRAC Settings - Network - IPMI Settings - Enable IPMI Over Lan - check (value) = enable
Once after IPMI over LAN been enabled, below command provides fan status.
ipmitool -I lanplus -H [interface] -U [username] -P [password] sdr list full
I'll update the text file. Thank you for your contribution
are the commands done in windows server or local pc

hello why my temp sensors are disabled?
R710 idrac doesnt collect CPU temps
Logged in as root, IDrac 9 , Unable to send RAW command (channel=0x0 netfn=0x30 lun=0x0 cmd=0x30 rsp=0xd4): Insufficient privilege level
Got this working, Had to downgrade iDrac firmware, Found out that around June of 19 they eliminated the static fan commands from iDrac firmware.
I don't think they removed ability. I am on latest idrac 8 (2.70.xxxx) and it works fine. However I created new IDRAC user with admin ability for IPMI over LAN
In idrac 9 you need 3.30.30.30 or older firmware
Worked with R730XD *BIOS*: 2.11.0 *Firmware*: **2.70.70.70** *BMC ver* 9.2.0
They broke it in BIOS 2.13.0 Firmware: 2.81.81.81 BMC ver 9.2.0 (still the latest 12/13/2021 Dell R730XD).
IPMITOOL will give you the following Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Get Device ID command failed after it times out.
Access idrac from browser > iDRAC Settings > network/security > IPMI Settings > Check Enable IPMI Over Lan.
i had this problem, for me the fix was... turn on, hit F2, iDRAC settings, Network, IPMI Over LAN Enable and Encryption key needed to be all zeros mine was not and that caused my problem
Hi, I just buy Dell r730XD. On what BIOS, Firmware and BMC you working now? Mine was fully updated before shipping and this command not work. Can I downgrade BIOS etc?
I got this working on a T640 purchased in November of 2020 but you MUST downgrade to iDRAC 9 v.3.30.30.30 or older for this to work. Dell has foolishly removed the ability to manually control the fans in newer versions of iDRAC. I will never buy another Dell server if they keep this BS up. I'm running a simple filesharing server with 18x 3.5" drives. I've manually set the fan speed to 20% and the drives never go past 45C and the CPU never goes beyond 50C (the CPU is only 30C right now). This stupid server was so freaking loud before. The only reason Dell has removed this feature is because statistically speaking, the cooler you keep an electrical component, the longer it lasts. In other words, Dell did this to reduce warranty claims. I have this server in my home office so it needs to be quiet. I will of course turn this feature off if I ever repurpose this server for more CPU intensive tasks, but there is NO reason to keep the fans so freaking loud when all it's doing is sitting there at 5% or less CPU usage 99% of the time.
How did you downgrade? I cannot get it to work fo rmy iDrac 9
