agorum® Software GmbH fixes noisy AI server after fan‑control error

At agorum® Software GmbH in Germany, a newly installed AI server (ALBERT | AI) generated loud fan noise that prompted a neighbor to call on a Saturday night. Operator Oliver Schulze reported that the system continued to run autonomously without manual commands. Technical analysis revealed that the fan speed was being regulated by the 12‑volt rail current draw rather than temperature, causing the fans to spin at up to 16,050 rpm. After correcting the control logic and hysteresis settings, the server now operates quietly.

The incident highlights challenges of integrating high‑performance AI hardware into existing environments, where undocumented conditions such as fan‑control algorithms can lead to unexpected disturbances.
