No, this is a home baked script from the forums:

It's promising that someone is looking a the fan speed control in the official software but my disks are not seagate so i'm not sure if this will help.
My disks are currently running up to 50c at idle *with* the assistance of a desk fan in front of the unit so that's why i'm looking for solutions.
So far i've updated this script to reference the new directories and file names for the 314.
I think the last sticking point is that for some reason the CPU temp is reported multiplied by 1000 i.e. 50c is reported as 50000
so i guess some arithmatic needs to be done to get the right value here:
