Hi bonienl,
I have switched to a modded DS380 case which fixed the airflow mostly. One issue remains. When moving a lot of files or during parity checks drive temp goes way above 40°C.
Most of the time running my fans at 600rpm keeps cpu and drives below 35°C and is super silent, but i need to automatically turn up fan speed when drive temps are rising.
Sadly the autofan plugin works not as I would want it to:
- my mainboard has 2x 3-pin fan headers available (one cpu, one case fan)
- the 2x array fans are connected to the secondary fan header
- when setting up autofan, my cpu fan completely stops and will not ramp up again - until I remove the plugin and restart
- the array fans never drop to 600rpm but instead stay at around 690 when the plugin is set up
Please advise how to set this up properly. I have found no way to create settings for both fan headers simultaneosly - which should ensure the cpu fan keeps running.
Currently my only workaround is to bind the array fan speed to the cpu temp in the BIOS. This will work only if file temps are related to heavy CPU load (which is not always the case). Using the plugin is my much prefered method.
