The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by dmoltrup in Computer Fans and Cooling, Computer CPU Processors, Windows 2003 Server
I have two Dell servers.. A fully loaded PowerEdge 2900 and a PowerEdge SC1430.
They are running Server 2003 and SBS Server 2003.
Anyone know of a utility that will allow me to control the fan speed, specifically ramp the fans up to maximum? My office is in serious jeopardy of being taken over by the office managers, and I am going to have to squeeze my entire IT office into a very small space. This will mean cramped conditions and separation from the server equipment. I cannot believe this is even being considered!
I would like to make the conditions in this office appear as noisy as possible because I know that is one thing they will not be able to put up with!
Any suggestions? It would have to run from the OS, and not a BIOS thing because I need to randomly alter their speed while running. I tried running processor "burn-in" utilities, but the fans really didn't speed up much. The only time they really ramp up is during the POST at startup. It is quite loud with the sixteen or so combined fans in these rigs!
