Hi folks,
I'm having a heck of a time slowing down the fans on my new FreeNAS build. Initially they were spooling up and down every few seconds, so I searched and found these threads, then used ipmitool to set some appropriate thresholds and selected "optimal" fan mode.
This stopped the spooling up & down behavior but unfortunately seems to have fixed the fans at 100% duty cycle. I have tried all 4 fan modes and none of them make any difference. When changing modes the fans do spin down for a moment, then jump back up to 100% and stay there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Configuration:
Supermicro X11SSL-CF motherboard
(1) Generic CPU fan (came with my E3-1240 V6 CPU) connected to FAN1
(4) Fractal Design Venturi HP FDB PWM case fans connected to FAN2, FAN3, FAN4 and FANA
Commands I've issued:
Current sensor list:
Everything has been left at the defaults with the exception of the fan thresholds.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!
