It probably runs hotter because Linux is more efficient at making
computers work harder. Windows cannot get a CPU loaded like this due
to its inefficiency. I went through this 6 years ago with an AMD CPU.

This server sits on the ISP premises and I am paying a flat fee for
power. So I do not care for "fan management", I just want the baddest
fan to blow air as fast as it can. I hope that Linux would not
interfere with that.
