TheGr33nG0blin Posted January 13, 2020 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flyride Posted January 13, 2020 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
