The CPUs remain below 75 degrees centigrade with the PWM set to 50 percent. Runs at 2500RPM during idle, ramping to 8000RPM during stress times.
In order to make sure that the system will continue to be within thermal limits, change fan profile from Acoustic over to Performance (BIOS > Main screen, select Advanced > System Acoustic and Performance Configuration).
So there will be cooling adjusted as preferred method in oppose to components throttling, and configure Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) alerts sending for all thermal sensors (Refer to the BMC guide page 49, 7.3.1 Alerts section)
The above statement applies for validated configurations. For chassis compatibility refer to the following article: Chassis Compatibility List for Intel® Server Board S2600ST Family
