Join me on a deep dive into managing and optimizing GPU cooling in the Dell PowerEdge server series. In this video, I share my personal experiences and strategies for preventing thermal throttling to maintain peak server performance. I'll show you how I interact with the server fans by SSHing directly into the server's iDRAC, and how to access the fans using the local command line with Dell's iDRAC tools module. But the real game-changer is the custom script I've developed. I'll take you through the process of creating and implementing this script, designed to automatically adjust fan speeds based on GPU temperatures, ensuring efficient and effective cooling. Whether you're an experienced IT professional or just starting, this video will provide you with practical, first-hand knowledge to keep your Dell PowerEdge server cool and efficient. Let's tackle overheating issues together and push our servers to their highest potential!
