It may be worth trying to bypass the issue by installing VMware ESXi and setting up CentOS as a virtual machine.
This will give you additional control and backup options for the system.

from (a) it will affect the fan's lifespan and (b) it's noisy.
I used to have a HP 320 generation 2 server that I used as a desktop.
it
had a bunch of tiny fans that screamed like a banshee.
it turns out that one of the RPMs they shipped with it (on CD, not actually installed) contained a driver that toned down the fans to a soft roar. I'm sorry to say I have no memory of what the driver was.
but if this system is from a vendor that supports Linux, they might
have
some suitable driver.
That's in the firmware. You may, or may not, be able to do something with ipmitool, but I don't think so. Reboot, and look in system setup. It may be under performance settings.
