Oops! Typo. You need to set both pwm1 and pwm2 to 255 to make the fan run at full speed I think - anyone confirm? The existing script only does one of them. Also, I've just noticed that it sets the fan to full speed *before* it kills the daemon, which is unsafe since the daemon might run again before it gets killed and leave you with a slow or stopped fan! > Incidentally, I too have looked at that script.

The values are the temp difference for fan control FAN_RNG - which I've left as 10 Degrees C and FAN_MIN which is the lowest fan speed control value to output when not either stopping the fan (0) or running it at full speed (255). I've currently got mine set to 60 rather than the provided 70. I suspect it depends on how many hard drives you have fitted (one in my case) and how good the airflow is in the box, with some of the ventilation mods from the Debonaires page you can probably use a lower value. The idea being that in the ideal case the fan would come on at it's slowest speed as the box initially warms up and stay there all the time rather than coming on too fast and then being cycled off and on again. regards, Colin -- Colin Tuckley | +44(0)1903 236872 | PGP/GnuPG Key Id Debian Developer | +44(0)7799 143369 | 0x1B3045CE Ethernet n.: something used to catch the etherbunny. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
