On boot it will copy it to "/etc/modprobe.d". Do you put anything in the file or what? I've tried by putting the text from Reddit inside the disable-asus-wmi.conf file (TXT File format). This text: # Workaround broken firmware on ASUS motherboards blacklist asus_wmi_sensors I then rebooted the server and went to bed with a noisy server. When I then woke up, it was completely silent, and was running around 85-95 degrees C on a 3800X. Motherboard is: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. PRIME X470-PRO And to be 100% sure: Can I just add the file to the USB drive through the share, or do I have to take the USB drive into my PC and do it that way? Quote Link to comment

Just open your flash and go to *\flash\config\modprobe.d Create whatever file you like with .conf mines "disable-asus-wmi.conf" In that file paste # Workaround broken firmware on ASUS motherboards blacklist asus_wmi_sensors reboot and random fan stops resolved. I'm not the correct person to explain exactly wtf it does or how it works. But I assume it just makes unraid/linux not touch that fan controller Edited February 23, 2023 by BomB191 2 Quote Link to comment
juan11perez Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Thank you for sharing this info. I also have the asus 470 and have had the problem for months. I ended up installing a fan controller . I'll try this fix edit: so ive added the fix. The asus sensors are gone, but I also lost cpu fan speeds etc..... this the case for others?

Yes this removes unraids ability to look/touch any of that. I personally figure not knowing the temp is better then knowing my fans will randomly shut off causing thermal shutdowns. Just set the Bios to the fan levels you need and call it a day. 1 Quote Link to comment
Marcel40625 Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 The Problem is that we need a permanent fix from unraid for this, disabling the control and view at all cant be solution, just a temp fix Quote Link to comment

It appears even if FAN Controls Plugins are not installed, Dynamix System Temp is enough to get the driver stuck and if i remember correctly its part of Unraid now isnt it? And the Problem seems the driver that comes with Unraid 6.11 "Linux ASUS WMI Sensors driver" EDIT: !! found some posts, seems to be fixed in "Linux 6.1" where the "ASUS WMI Sensors" are abondend and the "asus_ec_sensors" are used !! https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Drop-ASUS-WMI-EC-Sensors Edited April 17, 2023 by Marcel40625 Quote Link to comment

If the plugin causes the issue, the plugin needs to be fixed, not Unraid. The issue occurs with a plain Unraid install, without any of the plugins mentioned. It is due to a new ASUS WMI sensor driver that is included in the Linux kernel version used by Unraid 6.11. Edited April 17, 2023 by kazi 1 Quote Link to comment

The workaround, assuming i applied it correctly however, doesn't work for me. Quote Link to comment
boomam Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) A little more testing, running 'pwmconfig' on the CLI and selecting 'manual mode' and the fans jump to life, just at full speed. Removing some of the dynamix plugins (system temperature) and rebooting however doesn't appear to resolve it, either. # EDIT More testing - Booting to BIOS and flipping the fan controls from DC to PWM, appears to resolve the issue, even after a re-install of Dynamix System Temperature....touch wood. 😛 Will monitor over the next few days.

mort78 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Is this still an issue on the current stable version of Unraid?? The reason I ask is.... I have the following MB - Supermicro X11SSH-CTF. The CPU fan also stops after a random time. I have gone into the Supermicro BIOS, but there are no fan controls in there! Quote Link to comment
mort78 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Initially I thought I had done something, after I cleaned my system for dust. So I took the CPU cooler off and reapplied some new thermal paste. All was great, and was running cool. But after about 6hrs of running, the CPU fan stopped and the system started getting rather hot under no load. I'm using a Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1268L v5 @ 2.40GHz in the system. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 1 hour ago, mort78 said: Supermicro X11SSH-CTF This issue only affected some Asus boards, it won't be the same issue, your board has IPMI so you can install the IMPI plugin for fan control, but if it just stops possibly there's a fan problem.

Please remeber Unraid is based on Linux and the drivers that ship with the Kernel. Quote Link to comment
gregoriko Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 It could be removed in Kernel 6.x Quote Link to comment
Marcel40625 Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 can confirm, issue is back since Unraid 6.12.X Stable with my ASUS Boards, server was randomly shutoff one day ... i changed back to SATA to 4pin PWM adaptors for my fans and will stay with that, using Noctua fans full power its not that loud.

tictoc Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I've been having this issue too. Mobo is Asus x470-f Gaming. Currently on Unraid 6.12.10. With fans on auto detect in bios, DC fans would switch off and PWM would spin up to max after an hour or so from start up. Setting the PWM fans to PWM in bios stopped them from maxing out but instead ramped to ~1000rpm which was weird. Applying the `blacklist asus_wmi_sensors` fix per @BomB191's post stopped the fans from deviating from the bios settings. Interestingly, then installing @ich777 plugin *ITE IT87 Driver* exposed the fans again to *System Temp* for monitoring. It's been 12 hours now and fan speeds are still behaving as set in bios. Not sure why all that works but hopefully it helps someone else. Quote Link to comment
jude Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 In the last month I've started having this issue too. Asus Prime X470 Pro motherboard. Running Unraid 6.12.10. All fans shut off, hard drive temp warnings, 85C + CPU temps but system does not shut itself off. A reboot fixes this for a random amount of time and then it happens again. @tictoc has your combination of fixes held up?
