TheGr33nG0blin Posted January 13, 2020 #1 Posted January 13, 2020 Is there any possible way to regulate the fan speed in Xpenology? Last time i did a test run the cpu fan where blasting at full rpms although it was a PWM fan.
0 flyride Posted January 13, 2020 #2 Posted January 13, 2020 That is wholly dependent upon your hardware. The Synology fan control software interfaces via serial hardware that is not in a regular motherboard. Your motherboard may integrally support a fan profile which responds to internal temp sensors and/or system utilization to control fans. It also may have a "high/medium/low" setting that is fixed (which would solve your noise problem). This is probably the simplest solution, and that case, XPEnology has nothing to do with it. There are a number of online examples of more sophisticated, NAS-specific hacks to directly control fan interfaces such as on Supermicro motherboards. This approach would be dependent upon the fan hardware interface in your specific motherboard. At one time, I wrote up something that ran as a Linux daemon so that it could monitor drive temperatures and respond to that more aggressively than the hardware profile. But in the end, there wasn't enough of a measured difference to matter, at least in my climate.

I guess i've just to do another test run, but this time with a Ryzen systemet. i do belive my AsRock x470 taichi motherboard should solve the fan speed problem. As the fans can be controlled by either cpu or motherboard.
