Hello everyone!

I have a small question for you guys. I currently have a server with a P420 PCIe RAID Card on it, the card itself gets really hot (at around 80-85C, even with an added fan on the heatsink. It is a DL380 G8e server with 10x8TB in a Hardware RAID 5 array.

My question is this: I know that I can put this card into IT mode (drive passthrough to the OS) but would this mean the card temperature would get lower ? I guess yes, but I want to know your experience !

Thank you !

    I might try it, but for now I don’t really want to put the server offline for a test ahah, I’ll try to get info about this port tho.
