HPE Gen10 Plus high BMC temperature

[--RW--]

Do you have non-HP components besides the SSDs? Tell me about those 4 DIMMs.

4x 16GB DDR4 HPE 879527-091

I was able to read it through CPU-Z. iLo doesn't care seems like.

The server power consumption at IDLE is 50W.

I have added a heatsink to iLO and Intel chip. The BMC temperature went down approx 10C (60-65C), but unfortunately did not help to lower the FAN speed. I have done some thermal images , will upload them to my link mentioned in my previous post.
