I've had this ER-8 a little over a half day and the only gripe I have is the fan noise. I googled a little about a solution to hardware hack this to put less noisy fans in there: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX-Stories/Replacing-fans-in-EdgeRouter/cnc-p/1192519#M590 But I'm wondering if there is a more elegant solution. Is there any capability for sensors and fan speed control in the Edgerouter? Anyone know datasheets of this functionality out there somewhere? I'm willing to try to write a driver as a first project, as I can't see these fans going off like that for 24/7 in my apartment (even if it's in the hallway). Regards, -peter
