Entered BIOS and looked for acoustic/power/performance settings which led me to some way to reduce fan intensity in BIOS.
What I installed and did that helped:
sudo apt install cpufrequtils
sudo cpufreq-set -g powersave
I could’ve used fancontrol + pwmconfig if my server supported it.
I decided to unplug all fans but the CPU fan and just use cpufreq-set to
powersave. Check current mode with cpufreq-info to make sure it’s set to
powersave.
I think it’s already consistent across boots from the command I tried?
I checked temps with sensors.
