DEC3840 - Fan Noise
«

Hey guys,
Lately my DEC3840 became noisier and noisier and I was wondering whether there's any settings I shall config in order to lower the fan speed and thus its noise.
ATM everything is set as HIADAPTIVE although configuring any other setting has no impact on fan speed whatsoever.
Also, fan are clean from dust/dirt buildup and I've also ran a good amount of vacuuming just in case.
I'm quite lost atm and I'd appreciate any pointers to get this sorted ASAP.
Worst case scenario, I may consider to replace fans with some NOCTUAs, however I'd like to get specs and/or manuals before opening the case and invalidating the warranty for nothing.
Cheers!

UPDATE:
I ended up going into BIOS and changed fan settings to manual. I then tried multiple different settings, however, none of those had any impact whatsoever onto the fan rpm.
Any ideas on how to properly set the fan aiming at a lower speed?
unless anybody would advise otherwise, I’d have it going totally “fanless” until the CPU hits 60^C, then spinning at 50% and going 100% when/if CPU ever hits 65^C.
I appreciate anybody’s help.

I'm not sure what the issue is in the grand scheme of things, perhaps try to contact sales@deciso.com to see if a repair is something that would help with the noise requirements. Don't open the box as this would void warranty and may decrease cooling performance or damage parts.
Cheers,
Franco
