My supermicro board fan controller is terrible (home server, so server board with silent fans). It keeps cycling up and down, which is annoying. I ended up adding a manual fan controller with a touch screen on the front of the server for all the non-CPU fans which aren’t too load specific (and I monitor the drives temperature programatically).
Apparently it’s a common problem. People write custom fan control scripts for supermicro motherboards which you can upload to the BIOS. But I didn’t want to have to learn another thing.

I'm not impressed about how Supermicro handles fans, but I guess that this doesn't matter in a server room where there are no limits on how much noise the server produces.
