Hi all,
I’ve just purshased a refurbishef Z820 with dual liquid cooled E-2687w processors. I have’nt had the chance to load test it yet, but I’m very supprised how noisy it is.
In BIOS (latent version) I’ve currently set Idle fan speed to the lowest value. While I’m i inside the BIOS the fans are pretty quiet, but as soon as the operating system starts to load the RPM of the fans increase and the sound is in my opinion quite disturbing.
When running HP performance advisor, the CPU drops down to the minimum 1.1Ghz, but the fans are still noisy.
I have a couple of Z620 at work and they are much more pleasant from the noise level perspective, since I can barely hear them under the desk.
Has any of you any experience or input on this matter?
best regards
Niklas
