Need help with fans and cooling!


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I build a new Unraid server a couple months ago, and I've really been struggling to get the temperature management working the way I'd like.  Here is some background info:

  • Motherboard: ASRock B460M Steel Legend
  • CPU: i5 10400
  • HDD: 5 4TB hdd's that are in a hot swap bay in the front of a chenbro server chasis
  • SSD: 2 SSD drives for cache
  • Fans: 2 noctua 80mm fans on the back of the case, 1 noctua 80mm fan mounted on the back of the drive bay, and 1 noctua 120mm fan in the front of the case

 

Generally what I'd like to have happen is let the motherboard manage CPU cooling with stock cooling fan from intel. I'd generally like the case fans to idle nice a quietly.  When any of the HDD's get to certain temp I'd like all of the case fans to spin up and get things cooled down, and then go back to a slow and quiet RPM.  I've been trying for weeks to get the Dynamix autofan control tuned to due this, but I just can't seem to get it.  Any help/guidance would be much appreciated!
