HP Gen8 Fan running @ 70%

[overcooled-xp]

Hi All,

I have a Gen8 microserver and the fan is constantly running at 70% (luckily it's in my garage), but I need to get the fan running at normal levels again. Looking through the iLO it appears my 2.5" WD Black 500gb is being registered at 50c, but the drive itself is running around 23-25c. I need to replace this drive with another 2.5" drive. Which one do people recommend that will register correct temps, so the fan will run at lower levels?

i don't have any other devices in the pci slots. I had it set as ahci raid 0 with the single drive as that is what I believed I had to do. Got another seagate drive I am going to try. If that doesn't work I will have to order a new SSD for it.

Thanks all. It is now sorted. My single WD Black 500gb in raid 0 was reading high temps. Replaced it with another drive I had lying around (320GB seagate) and it is all good now. Fan at 6%, drive running in raid 0 as well.
