Hello,

 

I have Terramaster f4-424 pro  and I  need to set fan auto control correctly to cool down hdds.

 

I have installed  ITE IT87 Driver plugin.

 

Please help at least how to increase fan speed.

 

 

 

I'm worried with hdd temps and I don't want to revert to terramaster os.

I have the same unit and cannot configure it to work. I selected it8613 - pwm3 and clicked apply, it automatically reverts back to Disable doesn't matter what I enter. Never got the fan spin faster then 919 RPM. Can anyone help?

I still haven't find a solution.

Works for me on unRAID 7.

 

I downloaded the ITE IT87 Driver, then installed the Dynamix Auto Fan Control.

 

Dynamix Auto Fan Control is a little confusing, but I managed to get it to work somehow.

1. Set "PWM controller" to "it8613 - pwm3".
2. Set "Fan control function" to "Enabled".
3. Now click on the "DETECT" button next to "PWM fan". It might take a while and you might need to click on it twice. It sets the following value: "/sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon2/fan3_input".
4. "Minimum PWM value" is a little confusing. I set it to "100", which results in 1245 rpm. The value "120" gives me about 1457 rpm. You might wanna play around with the values here.
5. Set low and high temperatures to your liking. I chose 35°C for low and 40°C for high.
6. I think you should set the "Refresh interval (minutes)" value to "1", but that's just what I like.
7. Save.

 

Don't be confused if it says "Disabled" for "Fan control function" after saving. It does that, because it shows you the settings for the "it8613 - pwm2" fan controller now. You want that one to be disabled. In fact, you only want "it8613 - pwm3" to be enabled. Choose the "it8613 - pwm3" from the list and you will see that "Fan control function" will say "Enabled".

 

The setting "Fan control function" doesn't enable or disable the fan control function in general - it just sets it for the PWM controller you selected from the list in "PWM controller". I don't know why the devs did this, because it's just confusing.

 

Thanks for this thread. Two of my drives were constantly at 45°C. Now they are at 37°C.

Confirming I was also able to get this to work on my Terramaster U4-423 using @Vexz's guide. Thank you!

Personally, I prefer the PWM Fan plugin as it's a whole lot more straightforward to use.
