Hello friends, I am wondering how the pwm control units are correlated to the fans that are plugged in. The motherboard in question is an ASUS H97-Plus. One 120mm 3Pin fan is connected to CHA_FAN1 One 120mm 4Pin fan is connected to CHA_FAN2 No Fan is connected to CPU_FAN (The Noctua NH-D15 runs fine in passive mode) When running pwmconfig I get the following output: # pwmconfig version 3.6.0 This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm) controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm. We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls. The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you physically verify that the fans have been to full speed after the program has completed. Found the following devices: hwmon0 is acpitz hwmon1 is nvme hwmon2 is coretemp hwmon3 is nct6791 Found the following PWM controls: hwmon3/pwm1 current value: 84 hwmon3/pwm2 current value: 255 hwmon3/pwm2 is currently setup for automatic speed control. In general, automatic mode is preferred over manual mode, as it is more efficient and it reacts faster. Are you sure that you want to setup this output for manual control? (n) yes hwmon3/pwm3 current value: 111 hwmon3/pwm5 current value: 255 Giving the fans some time to reach full speed... Found the following fan sensors: hwmon3/fan1_input current speed: 1299 RPM hwmon3/fan2_input current speed: 0 ... skipping! hwmon3/fan3_input current speed: 1344 RPM hwmon3/fan5_input current speed: 0 ... skipping! Warning!!! This program will stop your fans, one at a time, for approximately 5 seconds each!!! This may cause your processor temperature to rise!!! If you do not want to do this hit control-C now!!! Hit return to continue: Testing pwm control hwmon3/pwm1 ... hwmon3/fan1_input ... speed was 1299 now 379 It appears that fan hwmon3/fan1_input is controlled by pwm hwmon3/pwm1 Would you like to generate a detailed correlation (y)? y PWM 255 FAN 1284 PWM 240 FAN 1235 PWM 225 FAN 1218 PWM 210 FAN 1115 PWM 195 FAN 1063 PWM 180 FAN 996 PWM 165 FAN 909 PWM 150 FAN 846 PWM 135 FAN 794 PWM 120 FAN 714 PWM 105 FAN 637 PWM 90 FAN 560 PWM 75 FAN 459 PWM 60 FAN 368 PWM 45 FAN 201 PWM 30 FAN 0 Fan Stopped at PWM = 30 hwmon3/fan3_input ... speed was 1344 now 1317 no correlation Testing pwm control hwmon3/pwm3 ... hwmon3/fan1_input ... speed was 1299 now 1212 no correlation hwmon3/fan3_input ... speed was 1344 now 0 It appears that fan hwmon3/fan3_input is controlled by pwm hwmon3/pwm3 Would you like to generate a detailed correlation (y)? y PWM 255 FAN 1320 PWM 240 FAN 1260 PWM 225 FAN 1197 PWM 210 FAN 1139 PWM 195 FAN 1073 PWM 180 FAN 1008 PWM 165 FAN 949 PWM 150 FAN 877 PWM 135 FAN 809 PWM 120 FAN 734 PWM 105 FAN 674 PWM 90 FAN 580 PWM 75 FAN 0 Fan Stopped at PWM = 75 Testing pwm control hwmon3/pwm5 ... hwmon3/fan1_input ... speed was 1299 now 436 It appears that fan hwmon3/fan1_input is controlled by pwm hwmon3/pwm5 Fan hwmon3/fan1_input has not returned to speed, please investigate! hwmon3/fan3_input ... speed was 1344 now 1319 no correlation Testing is complete. Please verify that all fans have returned to their normal speed. The fancontrol script can automatically respond to temperature changes of your system by changing fanspeeds. Do you want to set up its configuration file now (y)? n Why are there 3 pwm controllers available?

So the solution was: Get different Hardware. I switched to this Asus H97-Plus Intel Core i5 4590T BeQuiet Pure Power 11 Noctua NH-D15 SE without fans With all the available power saving options in the bios switched to enable I now managed to drop to 24W with HomeAssistant VM running

Good morning, so it would be better to switch to a later gen Ryzen? Since I scrapped the "Gaming" setup, I thought I might have this as a VM in unraid. In addition to this, the CPU does not have an internal GPU, sadly.

Hello everyone, I have read tons of power consumption threads but now I am more confused than before. The requirements: Network storage for documents, pictures movies and so on Plex Maybe some VM and docker play, maybe Home Assistant (currently on RaspiPi 3B+) Low idle power consumption The beginning: I bought a cheap Dell Optiplex 7010 SFF with an i5-3570 and threw 2 Seagate Ironwolf 6TB (ST6000VN001) into the case and went with that for a while. Power consumption in idle was around 34W and I did not have a lot of troubles with it. The problem was the Dell mainboard which did not let you configure a whole lot and the temps in the small case. My "spare" windows PC was not used anymore I wanted to upgrade the server. Maybe newer components meant better power and efficiency. New build: Mainboard: Asus Prime B350-Plus (BIOS Version 6203) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 SE RAM: G.Skill Aegies DDR4-3000 16GB (2x8GB) GPU: XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy SSD: Kingston KC2500 500GB M.2 NVME HDD: Seagate Ironwolf 6TB (2X) Case: BeQuiet Pure Base 600 PSU: BeQuiert Pure Power BQT L7 530W (Will be swapped with a BeQuiet Pure Power 11) Fans Front: Noctua NF-P12 (2x) Fans Back: BeQuiet Pure Wings 2 I managed to get the idle consumption to 38W but I would like to get this even lower. In Idle mode there is only Plex running in Docker and the only spinning fans are the 2 CPU Cooler Fans. The cooler is a massive overkill anyway but I have not managed to get them disabled at low temps yet. Do you think it is possible to get the consumption even lower or do I need to switch to team blue for that?
