70 degrees C doesn't sound excessive, I think 80 degrees C is the limit for that one. Either one of the fans isn't working or you need to upgrade the BIOS/system ROM.

It was the thermal paste between the CPU and the heatsink. I changed it with a new one and it fixed the issue.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a ML350 G4p server, and it is constantly running hot. When in idle the HP system management homepage shows that the CPU is 77 degrees hot and the noise from the server is like from aircraft :)<br />
<br />
<br />
What is the normal temp for this CPU and what can cause this issue ?

Proliant ML350 G4p too hot in idle state

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
