Add the command to the "go" file (/config/go on the flash drive)

do I add

echo "options nct6683 force=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/sensors.conf

 

or

 

options nct6683 force=1

 

??

There is a word on the forum that if your running Dynamic Fan Control, which I do fans will not shut down using 6.9-RC2. My Drives do not shutdown on their own. I reverted back to 6.9-Beta35 and they do. Is there a Plugin Mod we can do or is it a sensor issue that trips it up?

[Pixel5 2]

is there any way to configure the fan speed plugin to only control my case fans but completely ignore my CPU fan?

 

right now my case fans are correctly controlled base don HDD temp but the CPU fan is at 100% constantly even when i disabled auto fan for it.

I apologize if this is in the wrong thread, just let me know and I'll move it to general support or somewhere, but I am following the official wiki for setting up CPU temperature monitoring with the Dynamix System Temp plugin. I've installed NerdPack GUI, installed PERL, then installed and hit "DETECT" in Dynamix System Temp. It finds my driver as "k10temp nct6775", but the options for "Processor temperature" and "Motherboard temperature" are set to "not used" and do not show any other options. I've hit save, redetected, rescanned, and done all the research I could find. I even tried some alternatives to Dynamix, but I can't seem to get anything working. For more info, my motherboard is the MSI Meg X570 Unify and I have a Ryzen 3950X. Everything else is up and running, so far I'm loving Unraid and it's working great, I just can't get CPU temperature readings.

 

I'm very new to Unraid (on trial day 3 now), I like it a lot, but am still unexperienced in it. If someone could please help me with the next troubleshooting steps or if anyone knows a solution to this issue, please let me know.

 

Here is the link to the tutorial I am following:

OK, this is proving to be one pain in the a*s.

 

my dynamix.system.temp\drivers.conf has the following:

but for some reason the NCT6683 module is not loading as you can see from my sensors output below.

Any idea why the sensor module isn't loading?

Linux peeps have managed to get it working by doing the following but there is no modules-load.d folder in UNRAID that I can see.

 

echo "options nct6683 force=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/sensors.conf

modprobe nct6683

echo "nct6683" >> /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

If you back it up first, it should be easy enough to test by seeing if you can successfully write the expected amount of data to the drive and then also read it back intact.   If it IS a fake one of those steps will fail.

Thanks, @itimpi. But I'm wondering about the logistics of this;

 

1. Back up the USB drive, having removed it while the array is (presumably) spun down but powered.

 

2. Leave the server alone while I…

 

3. Test the USB drive destructively with, say, F3 or some similar test.

 

4. Restore the original UnRAID data, reinsert the USB drive into the server.

 

Because of 2. the backup and subsequent restore would have to be outside the UnRAID server. Is this the sequence you had in mind? Have you tried this?

I would always install trim on all SSD's.  I think it's highly worth and and have never had an issue.  I followed your link but it didn't make immediate sense to me what you mean.  Just install trim I reckon.

The question is: does RAISE replace TRIM? Unnecessarily running TRIM may not raise (ha!) any "issues" but you may be adding random wear to your SSD.

Yes.

 

Depending on the test you run you may need to run the appropriate make_bootable command off the flash to make it bootable again if the test you use has destroyed that status.

I booted an Ubuntu distro and I get all the sensors info. How do I get the same sensors to show up in UNRAID?

I added the nct6683 module to modules.conf in Ubuntu but I can't see where I do this in UNRAID.

 

/etc/modules-load.d$ cat modules.conf

 

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.

Thanks, @itimpi. I've realised subsequently that the official UnRAID USB backup downloads the output to the local machine running the WebGUI, so my remarks about backing up the USB outside the UnRAID NAS don't apply.

 

But there's a possible scenario that worries me. If this is a fake 2GB drive posing as a 16GB drive (as UnRAID seems to be suggesting) it's a possibility that the destructive test I run will make the drive unusable.

 

Whether it's 16GB or 2GB, it's working fine for now as a boot drive. My inclination would be to buy a second 16GB Cruzer Fit from the eBay SanDisk store (about £6), test that to guarantee it's a worthy understudy, and then run the destructive test on the working boot USB drive.

 

Or am I being overcautious here? Advice very welcome.

I have no idea whether testing can make the drive unusable.

 

if you have to use a new USB then you will have to go through the process of transferring the licence to it (and blacklist the old one).   You can use the automated process once a year but if you have done a transfer more recently then you need to contact Limetech to do a manual transfer.

[bidmead 4]

Thanks, @itimpi. I'm cool with the licence transfer process but think it's probably a good idea to have a physical backup USB drive ready. I've ordered another Cruzer. I'll report back here once that's all done.

What part of RAISE would you think replaces trim?  I can't see anything even slightly related in there. 

[bidmead 4]

I was asking my question about RAISE and TRIM, @Marshalleq, from a position of ignorance. That's to say, I'm looking for an answer from someone who knows more than I do. You're asking me another question that seems to require the information I'm ignorant of.

 

Is there someone here who can help us both out? I've put this question to the SSD manufacturer and will follow up here if I get a response.

 

(Here's a useful gloss on how the SandForce controller and TRIM work, separately. There's no mention of RAISE here, but I'm assuming my cache OWC Mercury Extreme Pro, which uses a SandForce controller, also includes this DuraWrite feature. This may be an answer to my question but I don't understand SSD garbage collection well enough to be sure.)

may a question about the system fan plugin, after getting the fans to be recognized and adjustable question is

 

do i see this right that the automatic control is only triggered for hdd temps ?

 

my usecase is to control my fans due cpu temp but either i miss something ot its a hdd temp control base only ?

 

for any tipps, thanks ahead

[chip 1]

With the Dynamix System Buttons plugin does the "Stop the Array" do the following.

Stop VMs properly

Stop Dockers properly

 

Or is it best to stop each docker and vm running before doing "Stop the array"?

 

[spl147 12]

All i did was install system temp plugin and fanspeed plugin, ran sensors-detect from command line, it reported coretemp and nct6775

So i ran modprobe coretemp and modprobe nct6775.

Been working ever since. Rebooted numerous times.

Just use a fan splitter hub to connect all your fans to the cpu fan header and set you fan curve in the bios

[alturismo 103]

@spl147 thanks for the info about hdd temps only, and they are already adjusted in bios, no need for a splitter here due i can adjust them all seperate anyway, would be just nice to take control while running without rebooting to bios etc etc.

Anyone with issues loading their sensor module and/or missing sensors for their motherboard, please read....

 

I have a Z490 Asrock ITX/TB3 board and have been battling for months trying to get the sensors to display in systemp plugin.

I have finally found a way to do it for the NCT6683 sensor chip.

 

I created a user script using the excellent plugin that contains the following at array startup-

 

modprobe -r nct6683

modprobe nct6683 force=1

 

The 1st line unloads the module.

The 2nd line loads the module using the 'force' option.

 

Now on every reboot of UNRAID i have full sensors from both coretemp and nct6683.
