home server Hp prodesk 600 G2 SFF fan control

[Bagi_IT]

Hopeing this finds someone who can help. I got my self a HP Prodesk 600 g2 (I5-6100 8GB DDR4 ram 256gb sdd 500hdd) for only 40eur. Setup proxmox and a couple of VM and Containers on it. Now the problem.

I noticed the fans are not loud but cause just enough sound to be annoying and when its quiet in the room can be easy heard. Since its in my room i was wondering if anyone can help with the fan control. I tried looking in the BIOS and only thing i found is idle fan speed % (that affects only the PSU fan for some reason). I tried sensors and fancontrol in proxmox but the fan is not detected. And by the looks of it the fan will be getting replaced. But before i go out and by a fan to lower the noise is there any program or options that i could try.

We have about a hundred of these at work. They are terrible machines (USB ports die on them, sometimes they won't boot, ...).

Are you on the latest Bios (2.60)? If not, that might help.

If I recall correctly, the FAN headers they use are 3-pin, I'd have to check.

Thanks for the help, the BIOS is 2.60 i even tried going back a couple of versions but no luck.

The fan connectors are 4-pin. Not 3 pin
