Removed the SSD, and the fan still activates. I'm working at 32bit, 48k, average plug-ins and 39 tracks.

The only other change beside the SSD install was an upgrade to WSControl 3.6.1.80 from 3.6.0

Is the fan on the card an exhaust fan?

Any fan based advice is welcome...

Thanks.

You're talking about the xMac Pro Server that also houses the Mac right?

There is obviously a fan on the HDX card but before that triggers, (I'm pretty sure it's a temperature sensitive,) the two fans in the PCIe expansion bay usually kick in.

You mention having a second SSD drive installed. If that means you have the Sonnet drive expansion bay installed then that things is as noisy as hell! If not the drive expansion bay, how have you got the second as SSD installed?
