Re: New 9009-41G fan noise

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

The fans will always be running. The only difference is how fast. You can
configure power saving settings from the ASMI, but AFAIK the 914's come
with "make as little noise as possible" set as the default. Maybe the NVMe
adapters require more cooling?
