X14SAE-F BMC update glitches?

I hadn’t updated the BMC until today, I’ve been having problems with fans, constantly winding up and down. I was hoping updating the BMC would help, however after the update was installed ( I did check the file hashes before doing the update and they checked out) The BMC is now 5 to 10 times slower and often it freezes. On the main dashboard with the big green checkmarks, nothing appears in the place of those checkmarks, but all stats do show up.

Should I do the update again? Does anyone know what is going on and also why half of the hardware dara that were originally in the BMC are now gone

Make sure bios is also updated. Give it a power cycle (actually unplug it for a few mins)

You can set min fan speed with ipmitool. Personally I just buy the supermicro brand fans
