I've tried posting elsewhere but it was removed. I have 2 4,1 dual tray and 2 5,1 dual tray fully working Mac Pros. I am giving them away. Not for sale or trade. Free. Mid Missouri. If no one wants them, recycle it is. Not trying to violate any rules, just trying to give these away. Surely someone will want to continue the life of these machines.

This is completely off topic, so I probably shouldn't really reply, but assuming a good faith attempt to find some people who might want them: if you want to continue their life, why don't you sell them? They seem to be worth something, and more than it would cost you to post them, on eBay. So you get them to a new home and maybe get a few dollars out of it, hopefully enough to cover your time!

It's normal after Monterey startup the PCI and Intake fan's spin a tittle bit higher and after 8 minutes, or so, they return to idle.

Cleared NVRAM a couple of times.
 
Currently have OC set up to use either Mojave or Big Sur, I want to perform an OTA update from Big Sur to Monterey.

Which option applies, 1 or 2, from the main page of the guide instructions, it seems both options apply? many thanks

Recommended update options:

➊ Clean install with installer app in macOS Mojave and later, or OTA update in macOS Big Sur and later
SecureBootModel is set to Disabled
VMM flag is enabled
➋ Clean install with bootable installer, installer app in macOS Big Sur and later, or OTA update in macOS Big Sur and later
SecureBootModel is set to Default
Hybridization is used
Firmware features are updated
