R640 max speed with NVIDIA GPU? (alien.top)

Right, so I have a 1U R640. People claim it's loud but I have found it tolerable, until I added a GPU.

Now my fans are always at %100. Is this by design/am I boned if I want a GPU in this thing? These are data center grade boxes where noise isn't something considered.

Perhaps I should sell this for a tower, or is there a fix?

What kind of GPU did you add? When I added a pair of K80s and later on a P100 to my R730, it started reading the GPU temperature off of them and adjusted the fan speed as needed, no tweakimg required.

It’s by design. Rack servers are designed to do that why they detect unknown hardware that they don’t know the thermal requirements of.
