    Oh Shit It’s hot!

    Does anyone have HP Gen8 micro server heat issue these last few weeks?

    Mines making a right racket even when ambient. Had a red flashing light on the front a few times. Red is bad…

    Any suggestions for a fan upgrade and instructions?

    Give it a good clean out and keep it clear around the back with some space.
    mines in the garage and it’s 34 most days in there with the presses and printers running.

    I’ve got mine under the stairs and it’s been ok, running a few VMs 24/7, has a P222 RAID card etc. I used to run two (one ESXi, one Hyper-V) but with the energy costs I migrated my ESXi VMs to Hyper-V and powered the other one down. Shame they are limited to 16GB RAM though…
