Hi all,
I'm building a small lab server with a Supermicro X10SRH-CLN4F-O board and a Xeon E5-2650 v3 cpu. The heatsink is a Noctua NH-U12DXi4.
All settings are default and no overclocking is done.
Everything sems to work fine, the only thing is the cpu gets way too hot. I have tried re-installing the heatsink several times using different amounts of thermal paste, every time with the same result.
Once fully booted into ESXi with no vm's running the cpu temperature is about 55 degrees C, wich is allready a lot I think. Once I start a FreeNAS vm the temperature stays almost the same but when I copy a file to FreeNAS, the temp rises to above 80 degrees within a minute.
According to ESXi, cpu usage isn't even reaching 25% while copying files.
So my question is: Is it possible the cpu is faulty?
Or am I missing something here?
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Robert.
