Hi johnnie.black, How are they connected? Did you use the low noise adaptor to limit fan speed? How about the CPU fan connected to Fan1? Doesn't it rev up and down at Heavy IO?

Found out that the fan that is too noisy is in fact another Supermicro provided fan from 1U rackmount case that I use as CPU Fan. The 3 of the other fans are the Noctua. I followed the steps detailed above. Connected CPU Fan (Supermicro) to Fan 1, and Noctua Fans to Fan A. Reset BMC, set threshold. Set fans to full. At Fans set to full, CPU Fan runs at 3300 RPM, and Noctuas run at 1275 (within limit of 1300 RPM). But the Fractal Design Node 804 is poised for TAKE OFF! :-) Despite 1275 RPM at full speed for Noctuas, the HDD temps seem to be at 40 to 41, older models go up to 45. Is this enough? Is there a way to just lower the speed for the CPU fan, and not affect Noctuas' maximum speed at 1275 RPM?

Just want to make everything clear :-), the following commands, what I'm doing is open ssh session to my Unraid. I go to /mnt and execute the commands below. 1) download current config to a text file ipmi-sensors-config --checkout --filename=sensordata.conf 2) use an editor like nano to change the values you want nano -w sensordata.conf ctrl+o to save, ctrl+x to exit nano 3) commit the changes ipmi-sensors-config --commit --filename=sensordata.conf I hope all these time, I'm doing it in the right place.

@dmacias, I turned it off to be sure. I'll perform all steps above, which also includes resetting BMC. I'll report back. Fingers crossed

This is the content of my ipmi-sensors.config, as checked via ssh to the machine. EndSection Section 138_FAN_1 EndSection Section 205_FAN_2 EndSection Section 272_FAN_3 EndSection Section 339_FAN_4 EndSection Section 406_FAN_A EndSection I will be trying 2 things today. 1 is to reset BMC, 2, to connect all 3 fans to FAN A, and CPU fan to FAN 1. Planning to follow this guide given to me by another person helping from another forum: Connect your CPU and fans on the motherboard side to FAN1 - FAN4 headers on the motherboard. Use a Fan splitter cable to connect all 3 fans marked in Post #4 by @marcoi to connect to FANA header on the motherboard. Reset your BMC to factory defaults. (Maintenance -> Factory Defaults -> Reset) Once the BMC comes back online define the fan thresholds manually with the commands 1 and 2 below. ipmitool sensor thresh FANA lower 200 250 300 ipmitool sensor thresh FANA upper 1300 1400 1500 This should set the thresholds for the 3 Noctuas Restart your BMC (Maintenance -> Unit Reset -> Reset) Set the fan speed to Full It's another hail Mary I'm doing to make sure I get things right.

I just tried to enable it, but seems to do nothing. The Editor is missing a lot of details regarding my fan. Since I don't know what to put inside the configuration file, I leave it as it is. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Hi. Saw on IPMITools, upper left of Sensor Config page, there's a selector "Load Config @ unRAID Start" Should this be enabled? Checking my config though, it looks pretty plain, and all the commands I run, are not listed here. Could this be the reason fans are not taking even effect after I set thresholds?

Thanks saarg

Hi. Will this development also work on my board X9SCM-F? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Hi Squid, I haven't. Though I had some problem with mappings with another app before, and your suggestion did work. I didn't give this a try because the label of /downloads was saying otherwise. I will give it a shot. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Hi. Can I get some help on folder mappings? I have a category in Sabnzbd as ebooks, so whenever LL finds books, magazines, it's sent to sab, and my files are downloaded to /mnt/cache/.downloads/complete/ebooks. I can see downloaded books there. I also have such a folder Media/TV, Media/Movies. So, for /books, I put in /mnt/user/Media/ebooks. No ebooks folder is found inside Media. The books aren't being moved to /Media. Is there anything wrong with my mappings?

Yes, using latest BMC firmware, as well as bios firmware.

Hi. Saw some event logs today. Any other possible theory?

Thanks. Will try and report back Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

hi johnnie.black, do you think connecting the 3-pin cables will help? Am I correct they will be spinning at maximum speed, regardless of all the thresholds?

I wonder why, but nothing is showing up in the events log even after 2 hours or so.

I just changed Lower Critical to 270. My current numbers are 645, 270, and 0. I did it for all Fans 1-3, and Fan A. Nothing connected to Fan 4, so I didn't change it. It still goes up to 2025, all the way down to 405/540, then jump up once again to 2025, then slowly down again.

Hi johnnie.black, Here is my latest screenshot of logs.

I out in 0 at lowest non recoverable threshold, it saved, but it's still revving up and down. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Hi saarg, The values didn't apply to my X9SCM-F. It still asks me to change to another number. Currently, I'm seeing my fan stay at lower non critical value of 540 RPM, so no revving up and down. Don't know if this will remain constant. I'm reading around, and saw others say that Fans 1-4 are based on CPU/ memory zones, and FanA is for use with I/O/Addon cards. This I cut from my manual- "A fan speed control setting in the BI S ard are Monitoring section allo s the BI S to auto- matically set fan speeds based on the system temperature. " I wonder if this has something to do with another problem associated with these settings? My fans, as of the moment, run at 540 RPM, but my HDD temperatures are "HOT, HOT, HOT!" I've already taken my NAS out of the shelf where it's supposed to be, and the back and front is unobstructed. Does it mean CPU fan should be connected to Fans 1-4, and HDDs should be connected to FanA? Specially my case, Fractal Design Node 804 having 2 zones? Motherboard zone, and HDD zone? Hoping to hear more insights from you guys.

I believe all. That screenshot was taken earlier. They all go up and down Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Please do. No other options for now. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Sorry, I stand corrected. After a few minutes, revving up returned What is a good value? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Changing the non recoverable to 405 works. I want to emphasize this is the original value that we removed, and tried to replace. How come putting it back worked? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Got this: Value '200.000000' for key 'Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold' in section '138_FAN_1' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value Value '200.000000' for key 'Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold' in section '205_FAN_2' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value Value '200.000000' for key 'Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold' in section '272_FAN_3' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value Value '200.000000' for key 'Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold' in section '406_FAN_A' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value So by changing back to default numbers, no error in the top 2 digits. The Lower non recoverable number has error.
