Weird Fan Problem on RNDP6000 with 6.4.0
Hello, When I have my stock 120mm rear fan (or aftermarket) plugged in, it will spin fast at boot up, but it will not spin after that. I thought the fan was bad, so I purchased a Noctua repla...

I fixed it, this is the post that tells you what to do:
Add the following line to the system.conf file (I added to the end of the file& beginning) in the /etc/sensors.d folder:
ignore fan3
I actualled added both ignore 2 & 3, not sure which did the trick. There is also a file called pro6-fan.conf, so I added there as well.
Here is my entire system.conf file:
root@RNDP6000:/etc/sensors.d# more system.conf

label temp2 "CPU"
ignore temp3

All fine here on Pro Pioneer OS6.4.1 (Noctua system fan and CPU fan)

Still has same issue. I sent my logs in for the capacity problem, which is now resolved.
So, on bootup, fan spins just fine. Once I am booted up, the fan won;t spin. I have tried 2 fans, both do not spin after bootup.
Ideas?

Hi howarddavidp,
Not sure what could be the problem here. Maybe something with the chassis since it's proven that with this Firmware it works (just see powellandy1 response). Let's wait to hear from other members and contributors.
Kind regards,

If your fan is on a different path to what we expect you might need to override the default settings using a custom file.

powellandy1,
Scrub your volume and see if your CPU temp goes through the roof...
