At 57°C the heat pipes and the fins feel hot to the touch.
The room temperature is at 20-30°C, and there are is enough space in front and back of the case.
I checked the bios and all fans were on [Smart Fan] (100% at 78°C), as the CPU fan seems to increase at load, I put all the case fans on [Full On]. It doesn't feel like they are on 100%.
If I remember correctly than opening the case didn't effect the temperature much (+- 1-2°C).
Using an online stress test (https://cpux.net/cpu-stress-test-online) in a VM:
Closing the case increased the temperature from 69°C to 77°C. The case fans didn't seem to increase in speed, holding a small paper at the fan, the paper moves 10° maybe 15° angle. Hm, the VM uses 12 HTs (see picture) and does not increase the temperature in such a rapid way. Stash on the other hand uses 16 HTs (see the grey ones in the picture) and reaches critical temperature fast.
It seems the case fans don't work as they should.
Tried using pwmconfig:
Found the following devices:
hwmon0 is coretemp
hwmon1 is nct6776
Found the following PWM controls:
hwmon1/pwm1 current value: 127
hwmon1/pwm2 current value: 127
Giving the fans some time to reach full speed...
Found the following fan sensors:
hwmon1/fan1_input current speed: 0 ... skipping!
hwmon1/fan2_input current speed: 0 ... skipping!
There are no working fan sensors, all readings are 0.
Make sure you have a 3-wire fan connected.
You may also need to increase the fan divisors.
So what can I do? Should I buy one of those fancy old school fan controller?
