Well I am back in the thread. My setup is still working well with temperatures apart from summer.

I have to stick a fan in front of the server to keep it cool, which is ok but not ideal, expecially when going away. 

I get a lot of drives going above 45C without the fan trick.
I am tempted to replace the two big fans at the back, but I only want them to go full speed in summer, so I guess I am looking for a manual speed regulator instead of a fan that senses case temperature. 
Any suggestions?


Fan control, I'd recommend https://getfancontrol.com/ as a good way to control fans and ramp them up when needed based on temps. Here is a video on how to do a lot fo the setup and config -

Thank you Whaler_99, is it available as an application on Unraid?
Also I am interested in setting up a target temperature for those hard disks that usually get hot, can I link it to hard disk temperatures? I didn't see that as an option in the video.

Also I replaced the Norco stock fans with the Coolink SWiF2-801 80mm 1500 RPM 3-pin Quiet Cooling Fan, I wonder if they can be run at full speed and how?

These are the two fans at the back. I am pretty sure I have not even connected them to the motherboard so it might perhaps explain why they seem to move so litte air, and might be aggravating the heat issue

Sorry, yes, you'd need to check Github for any options or forks.

 

Also, there is this -

I guess you don't use getfancontrol on your unraid server?

That website indicates that this is Windows software. How are you running this on an UNRAID server?

Wow, after near an year and the poster has not replied. How strange to make a recommendation and not reply to a simple question.
