vincitygialam Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Dear HomeServerShow: I just upgraded my CPU from a 1610T to a 1220L. All is going well, but I noticed fan speed has increase from like 10-14% to 14%-18%. I am wondering if someone else who upgraded is seeing the same just to rule out that I applied thermal paste wrong, screwed up heatsink install or something like that. I was expecting more or less (or even lower) fan speed as this CPU has a TDP of 20W, and the 1610T had 35W. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netware5 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Check your BIOS version. It shall be minimum 2015.11.02(A) (24 Oct 2016). The following is announced for this version: Quote Enhancements/New Features: Added support for Intel Xeon E3-1220 v2 processors. Previous revisions of the System ROM should NOT be used with this processor as they did not support an appropriate thermal solution for it.
