It's nuts how much energy server fans can use.
I recently picked up an R730xd. By default, a non-Dell-branded PCI-E device will force the fans to ~16000RPM, but there's an IPMI command to disable that and go back to regular, temperature-driven, fan control. Total server power came down by 70W after issuing that command.
