- francis-io 4y agoI've some a similar thing with my NAS on a Supermicro X10 (I think) on Linux. I have had all kinds of trouble getting quiet fans on this board under Linux. I think it's a mix of BIOS fan control and other things that I ended up sinking days into trying to solve. Right now my solution is flaky at best, but eventually the fans spin down after a reboot. Supermicro could be so good for "prosumers" but I feel like they are bogged down by historic garbage. I had to pay (crack) something in the BIOS just to use a feature.
- c_o_n_v_e_x 4y agoOn some server motherboards, fan control is done by the BMC. We license BMC firmware from AMI for our servers. The fan control algos that come included are very basic (similar to the proportional response the auth wrote).
- nicolaslem 4y agoMe too! And it does not only keep HDDs cool but even more importantly it keeps them at a constant temperature. At this point the script should be shipped with TrueNAS directly.
