Soo the #Noctua fans now arrived and I installed everything. And - well - this did make the #server way quieter.

For 10-20 seconds after being powered on. Then CPU2 went to 70C. However all of the other temps are in check now.

And now it is way louder (as these fans have a higher max RPM).

Think the main issue was the airflow of this #Supermicro #H11DSi just being extremely shit to manage. You basically cannot avoid pushing hot air from CPU1 into CPU2…

Maybe I should just use the fact that I'm using an open-frame server rack to my advantage and just drill some holes into the side of the server case and draw in air from the side for the 2nd CPU.
