ReadyNas 214 new system fan / fan control
The fan in my RN214 is too lound once it gets going, so I took a chance at replacing it with a Noctua NF-A9. It usually works fine, the resported RPM in the dashboard is typically a bit lower than t...
One rating you hardly ever see for fans is the "stall speed". That's the speed below which the fan cannot go, so it will stop. And it can be important when swapping out a fan. Others in the forum (not with a 214 I can recall) have had similar issues with Noctua fans, especially if you've used the "speed reducer" (which lowers the supply voltage). Typically, just slowly stepping up the voltage won't kick it on until it gets very high. So switching to "cool" when it's already stopped isn't going to fix it. But keeping it on "cool" permanently may (though that may defeat your efforts to keep it quiet).
Editing the .conf file may or may not help. I've found it to work with some parameters, but some seem to be overridden by the ReadyNAS fan control. Interestingly, there does not seem to be an RN214.conf in /etc/frontview/sensors, so you'll have to do as StephenB did and see where /etc/sensors.d/system.conf points.
Thanks, I did look at the sensors.d, in the RN214 it uses RN204.conf:
/etc/frontview/sensors# cat RN204.conf
chip "g762-*"
label fan1 "System"
chip "al_thermal-virtual-0"
label temp1 CPU
compute temp1 @*1000, @/1000
Which I can't really understand đ?
