Hi,
I recently bought a S5500BC on ebay and its doing its job well. But the fans are allways at 100% and i would prefer a little bit more silence. I have updated my firmware (incl. BIOS) and nothing changed. I found a post about fan speeds in non-intel chassis (Found the solution to loud fans when using "other chassis" option when updating Firmware on a server board) but if i look in my BC_BMC.sdr i cannot find 100% aka 64h settings. Does anyone knows what i need to change in my config?
//=========================================================================//
// Chassis Fan Control Domain 1 with profile 6,7 for Minimum

33 // Control Value 3 (Percentage) (33h = PWM 51%)
3C // Temperature 4 60c
64 // Control Value 4 (Percentage) (64h = PWM 100%)
Also i am not sure which entries to alter and which not. Would appreciate any help,
