dahlenu Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hello everybody! I have built a system almost exactly as the "MD-1510/LI" from Lime Technology. There are three 5-in-3 drive cages, each with their own fan. The case has two large fans and there is also the CPU fan. Is there a fan control system with drivers for Linux? My ideal setup would be individual control of all fans based on temperature readings. For example, one could use the highest drive temperature for each drive cage to control that cage's fan, and one could use temperature sensors on the motherboard to control the chassis fans. There are many fan controllers with manual control on the market (e.g. Zalman ZM-MFC1), but I'm looking for a programmable system, which can adjust fan speed depending on temperature inputs. I have replaced the stock fans in the drive cages with Noctua NF-R8's which made a huge difference, but one is always looking for the perfect solution... Quote Link to comment
drchips Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I have been looking at the following, with a view to using for my server: http://www.t-balancer.com/english/Modelle.htm At the bottom of the software page it mentions UNIX/LINUX. It looks like it may be a program & forget system... Quote Link to comment
bubbaQ Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Nice. Beats the heck out of lm-sensors and fancontrol-pwm. http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=533 Quote Link to comment
