The guy who gave it to me mentioned the loudest thing is the power supply, but the main fans are easily the loudest. Do you think there is a way to mod the fans slower or maybe put it in a consumer case?

I'm not sure. The guy who gave it to me got it on a dumpster dive. As far as I know its from 2021 with a Zeon E or something

*** WARNING *** I am a complete newbie at this!

So I just received a new Nutanix rack mounted server from a friend, two nodes and I don't intend to run Nutanix on it.

I don't have a rack or means of mounting it so it is just sitting on a table for now, without any soundproofing. Is it possible to use pwm to control the fans? As far as i can tell, the motherboard can control the fan speeds, like at startup.

Could i replace the fans with a noctua fan?
