So my PSU is retarded. Thats what I get for buying a cheap PSU. Its a server that spends most of its time idling and the PSU is being retarded by ramping up the fan and never slowing it back down. If I shut off the server, unplug it for 15 minutes and power it back on it will be silent for a day or two. Then it will speed up the fan again. After much investigation I determined it is not connected to temperature. I was thinking load, but the system sits at idle, so who the hell knows.
Whats best way for me to slow down the .45A fan in it? I was thinking the Zalman fan controller but this is a two wire fan. Maybe a resistor to halve the voltage?
