Is there good UNRAID fan control software?

[getdown]

Hi everyone, Just wondering if UNRAID has any good options for fine tuning fan speeds? I want to switch my second PC from Win 10 LTSC to UNRAID. The only thing holding me back is I can't seem to find much info about fan control software.

 

With Windows I use Argus Monitor and I can tie individual fans to multiple temp sensors, and set my own curves. Is there anything similar available? Trying to keep the PC as quiet as possible. Thanks!

Look up Dynamix System Temp and AutoFan plugins - https://forums.unraid.net/topic/34889-dynamix-v6-plugins/

I ended up running an external fan controller and set them all to around 80%. All the fans are noctua and at that speed are fairly quiet. I did leave the Cpu fan plugged into the motherboard header and set a fan curve in bios. The load on both my servers stays the same nearly 100% of the time.

haha I always wanted one of those 5.25" digital fan controllers when I had a Q6600, maybe I'll finally get one

Hi,

 

with what external fan controller did you end up?

 

I have the Fractal Define 7 XL case and some fans and use the fan control hub, but my mainboard does not have a SYSTEM FAN pin header, thus I use one of the case fan headers and the ASUS BIOS with its fan control mechanism does not seem to work in setting up a profile.

I just picked up one that had a sata connector for power, no need to connect it to the motherboard. I have two different ones for each of my server, the first sits in a 5.25 slot and has sliders for the fan speed and the other mounts to a pci slot bracket and has dials to set the speed.
