How to reduce fan noise HP ProLiant DL360 G5

www.etapswitch.... This server has a 3x(3x2) fans with six pins.Simply. Remove two blade fans. Cut all wires from blade fan and only blue wire connect together with green wire. Perform these steps at your own risk. If you're interested in noise measures for this server follow this link • Noise measurement HP D...

For those of you that wants to do this mod, the wires to connect together are green to blue. Doing what the video says will prevent the system from increasing the fans speed in case it's getting to hot and you will risk frying you CPUs.

+Eric Hubert Hi Eric, do you have a video or pics of what you did as im looking for a similar option also does your unit use a lot power ?

Sorry guys, i know this is an old post, but, for this video, it only has to be done for fans 1 and 3? or for all fans? And one other thing, is there any additional configuration to be done in the server? because i've tried in my proliant DL360 G5, and it throws me the following error:
POST Error: Fan Solution Not Sufficient.
If anyone could please give me a hand, it will be mostly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

do you do this to each of the double fans in all 3 banks of 3x2? Just need clarity - thanks for posting this!

This worked! Took some time but sooooo much quieter. Thanks!!

[@erichubert8428]

With this mod I went from 50db to 34db, pretty impressive! The CPU are now running at 61C instead of 56C at idle. The noise went from "not tolerable" to "almost regular computer noise".

Eric Hubert so would I cut the red positive and cut the blue and splice it to the green ? nothing else ?

[@erichubert8428]

No, nothing else :)

Eric Hubert works perfect, not as quiet as I want but I'll get some sound mats to help.

Eric Hubert and instead of using electrical tape,i gutted the fans I removed and put the housings back so the air still properly flows through

[@erichubert8428]

Good idea ;)
