R9000 Fan?

[blakmax]

I have noticed there is a samll fan in the R9000 which is not working.

Any ideas if the fan will work in certain temperature?

Hello @blakmax

Welcome to the community!

The fan should be working. 

If you want to see the fan in action, you may try adjusting the temperature from http://routerlogin.net/debug.htm

Can you explain the fan temp algorithm and differences in values?

Is the T-High the temperature at which antenna disables?

Is the T-Low the temp at which fan kicks in?

Can the fan throttle depending on temperature?

I want to avoid damaging the device in any way by messing with these values.

T(High-H) - This means that when the temperature reaches this thresh hold the fan will kick in at at faster speed 4000rpm
T(High-L) - This means that when the temperature reaches this thresh hold the fan will kick in at at faster speed 3500rpm 
T(Low-H) - This means that when the temperature reaches this thresh hold the fan will kick in at at faster speed 3000rpm
T(Low-L) - This means that when the temperature reaches this lower thresh hold the fan will kick in on the lowest speed 2000rpm

Great!  Thanks for this.

My fan is not spinning. How to run it?

[Adewale]

the r9000 fan only spins if some specific components in the unit cross pre-stated threshold temperatures...from what i have observed, unless you mount the device in a space with no ventilation/ air movement, the r9000 doesnt cross the threshold temperature that necessitates the activation of the fan

So set up to run the fan only when needed like some pc power supplies to cut down on the noise .

which makes sense, dont you think?
