NeoID Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I'm running two 4U servers (Norco/Inter-Tech) with Unraid and since they are placed near the bedrooms I had to come up with a solution to reduce the noise. The solution was to turn on disk spin down and create a custom script for controlling the fans. I have now used this script for a few years and have become really happy with it, so I think it's time to share it with you guys hoping you enjoy it as much as I and my friend does. There exists some scripts on this forum already, but I had issues with either the disks being waken up unnecessarily or the script not supporting enough fans. It's not hard to "install" thanks to the awesome "User Scripts" plugin, but it takes some time to figure out the correct path to fan headers. Please not that some motherboard also switches these around if you install new hardware such as a NVMe.

Please post any suggestions on the GitHub page if you think it can benefit others. I know the docs (or the lack thereof) is a mess, but great you got it to work. Quote Link to comment
