HP Microserver Gen8 certified with custom CPU and fan speed problem?

[cpitchford]

The certification report for the HP Microserver Gen8 seems to have two problems:

http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201306-13791/

It lists the CPU/Processor as:
  Intel Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220T CPU @ 2.80GHz

According to HP it is only available in two models:
  Intel® Celeron® G1610T @2.3GHz
  Intel® Pentium® G2020T @2.5GHz

The software-raid controller (HP B120i) is not currently supported so the system must operate in AHCI mode. However without the HP driver (available for Redhat/Windows), the cooling system does not function correctly leading to high chassis fan RPM and noise. The fan no longer seems to react to CPU load or system temperature.

I have exact the same problem with the G1610T variant.

According to this forum the problem doesn't exist in Red Hat or Fedora but in Debian and Ubuntu:
