Jun 10, 2014 HDD Fan Control controls fan speed in relation to drive temperature. If you have replaced your iMac's Hard Drive with a new Hard Drive or a SSD and the fan has started running at full speed creating a lot of noise, HDD Fan Control will control the fan speed, preventing the loud noise whilst keeping your drive safe. Aug 01, 2019 You will be able to know the temperature of the micro, HD, fan speed and charge of the CPU. Now you can sleep without having to worry. And that is not the main function of Speedfan, because it offers you the information. It allows you to control the speed of the fan to avoid unnecessary sound or speed it up to cold your computer. Nov 26, 2019 HDD Fan Control controls fan speed in relation to drive temperature. I had previously purchased HDD Fan Control and installed it on an iMac 27 with a replacement (non-Apple) hard drive. It worked fine, but I have now installed a SSD in place of the HDD and HDD Fan Control is no longer activated.

Released:

Control system fan speed by monitoring hard drive temperature

Project description

HDD Fan control is a command line tool to dynamically control fan speed according to hard drive temperature on Linux.

This has 3 benefits:

  • it allows maintaining your hard drives in the ideal temperature range to have maximum longevity and avoid overheating

Because fans will slow down or stop when not needed:

  • it minimizes noise generated by the fans
  • it also minimizes power consumption at the same time

When is this useful?

HDD Fan control is useful when you have one or several hard drives with one or several fans close to them, and do not want to let the motherboard control the fan speed, because it does so either statically, or using a temperature sensor unrelated to the real drive temperature (either on the CPU or on some other place on the motherboard).

The ideal use case is for a NAS with several hard drives, a low power CPU (ie. ARM or Intel Atom) with passive cooling (no fans), and a chassis with fans close to the hard drive. It that case the CPU will generate less heat than the hard drives and it makes sense to control fan speed according to the main heat source.

Features

  • Can run in daemon mode
  • Can control several fans and/or several drives with a single invocation
  • Can automatically spin down drives after a customizable period of inactivity
  • Can adapt to different fan characteristics
  • Can be set to stop fans or run them at full speed at customizable temperatures
  • Can be configured to never set the fans below a certain speed (useful if the fans controlled by HDD Fan control are the only ones available in the chassis)
  • Can also optionally monitor CPU temperature, and control fan speed accordingly

Prerequisites

  • A Linux distribution
  • A least one SATA hard drive, that supports:
    • Temperature querying
    • Power state querying
  • A motherboard which:
    • exposes to the OS a PWM to control fan speed
    • exposes to the OS a sensor to query fan speed

Most motherboards and SATA drives fit these requirements.

Installation

HDD Fan control requires Python >= 3.6.

Distribution packages

Some Linux distributions have a hddfancontrol package available in their repository:

  • Arch Linux (AUR): hddfancontrol
  • Fedora: hddfancontrol (thanks to TC01)

From PyPI (with PIP)

  1. If you don't already have it, install pip for Python 3
  2. Install HDD Fan control: pip3 install hddfancontrol
  3. Install hdparm and hddtemp.On Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives: sudo apt-get install hdparm hddtemp.

From source

  1. If you don't already have it, install setuptools for Python 3
  2. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/desbma/hddfancontrol
  3. Install HDD Fan control: python3 setup.py install
  4. Install hdparm and hddtemp.On Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives: sudo apt-get install hdparm hddtemp.

To query fan characteristics, you may also need pwmconfig. On Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives, it is part of the fancontrol package, that you can install with sudo apt-get install fancontrol. HDD fancontrol and fancontrol are unrelated. The fancontrol daemon is not needed for HDD fan control to operate. If you use both fancontrol and HDD fancontrol, be careful not to make them control the same fans.

Configuration

A word of caution

The default parameters will run fans at 100% speed at temperatures > 50°C, and run them a 20% speed if < 30°C, which corresponds to the usual recommended drive operating temperature. If you are sure that there are no other components in your system that generate significant heat, if you have other fans to cool down your system, or if you have a case optimized for passive cooling, you can set minimum speed to 0%, which will stop the fans if temperature is below the minimum threshold.

Be aware that a misconfiguration of this tool can lead to a failure to cool down your system properly which can damage components or reduce their lifetime.

Before using HDD Fan control unmonitored for long period of time, I recommend keeping a minimum fan speed for security, and checking that the temperature of your system stays in reasonable range as expected.

Fan configuration

To get the value for the --pwm, --pwm-start-value and --pwm-stop-value parameters, you can either:

  • Use the -t or --test parameter, which will run some tests and detect the values at which the fans start and stop. However you need to have previously identified the PWM file (the --pwm parameter)
  • use the pwmconfig tool.

Drive auto spin down

SATA drives can be configured to automatically spin down after a certain period of inactivity, which saves power. If your drives are configured to do so, you may notice that they do not spin down when HDD Fan control is running.This is due to the fact that HDD Fan control will query temperature at fixed interval, which the drive will consider an activity and reset the spin down timeout.To fix that, you can either:

  • Use a value for the -i/--interval parameter higher than your SATA spin down time (not recommended unless your spin down time is very low, ie < 2 min). In that case you do not need to use hddfancontrol's --spin-down-time switch, because the builtin SATA drive timeout (that you can set for example with hdparm -S XXX command) should take effect.
  • Use the --spin-down-time parameter that will monitor drive activity and spin it down if inactive, independantly of the SATA feature (recommended)

Keep in mind that spinning down and up a drive repeatedly wears it prematurly, so unless you are in a power constrained environement (ie. laptop), do not set the spin down time too low.

Reading temperature while a drive is in low power state will make it spin up, so HDD Fan control will stop querying temperature in that case, and wait for the drive (which will be cooling down in low power state anyway) to spin up.

Some HGST (previously Hitachi) drives support a special way of querying temperature that does not spin up drives, which HDD Fan control will detect and use, however it still prevents them from spinning down, so the above instructions still apply.

Command line usage

Run hddfancontrol -h to get full command line reference.

As an example, the command line below will instruct HDD Fan control to:

  • monitor temperature of drives /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
  • control fan speed using PWM 2 and 3 in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/
  • start both fans using PWM value 200
  • consider the fans will stop with PWM value 75
  • never run the fans below 10% of their maximum speed
  • check temperature at least every minute
  • automatically spin down drives if they are inactive for 2 hours (7200 seconds)
  • run in daemon mode
  • log what is going on to /var/log/hddfancontrol.log

hddfancontrol -d /dev/sda /dev/sdb -p /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm2 /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm3 --pwm-start-value 200 200 --pwm-stop-value 75 75 --min-fan-speed-prct 10 -i 60 --spin-down-time 7200 -b -l /var/log/hddfancontrol.log

Systemd service

A systemd service file is provided to control the daemon easily.If you installed hddfancontrol from a distribution package, you likely already have it installed, otherwise you can install it from the sources of this repository with:

Then you need to edit the HDDFANCONTROL_ARGS variable in /etc/conf.d/hddfancontrol to set the parameters (drives, temperature range...).

You can then start the daemon with sudo systemctl start hddfancontrol, see its status with sudo systemctl status hddfancontrol and enable automatic startup at boot time with sudo systemctl enable hddfancontrol.

„For years I have had problems with fans in my various PCs all spinning up and down for seemingly no reason whatsoever. I never managed to get my GPU fully quiet. Every piece of software out there seems to have some kind of critical defect that makes it completely unusable.
It is safe to say that Argus Monitor has absolutely saved my life. I am now the proud owner of a PC quieter than I could have ever imagined. You have created something incredibly reliable and function-rich that I truly appreciate.
Thank you very very much, please do keep up the good work'

— Maarten G.

„I have to acknowledge, you and your team have created a phenomenal fan control app. Best in class. Features, update support, safety precautions, etc.
Prior to stumbling across your product, I had tried maybe a half dozen other fan apps. NONE of them could deal with my Lenovo hardware (with dual GPUs), that I have. But yours works perfectly. Hats off to you.'

— William C.

„I have been using Argus for some time now. For me it is by far the best program for fan control and an incredible help to keep my workstation cool and quiet. I just want to report that back as praise.
I recently renewed my 1 year plan and even decided against the cheaper 3 year version because I like to support Argus with a payment every year. It is absolutely worth it to me.
The whole range of fan control, from manual control, bios scattered to averaging over a period of time and hysteresis is an 'all-round carefree package'. Depending on the situation/profile, I have all of the options in use. Manually I like to use it to test which fan behaves how or in my 'render' profile where I set all fans fixed to 100%. It's almost fun to build your profiles with all the possibilities.
The combination with the temperature measurements/graphs complement Argus perfectly. In most cases, I can already do without other system tools.
Here are some more points that I particularly like in general:
- Current hardware is supported quickly and generally very good product maintenance, felt high quality.
- It seems very lean programmed and has little resource consumption and also no additional 'bloatware' as with the tools of the motherboard manufacturers.
- Extremely stable and reliable. I have not had a crash so far, or noticed any strange or 'buggy' behavior. I had initial concerns about the reliability of a software regulation, but they have gone away now.
- Very important for me, Argus respects privacy. I can even control the automatic updating myself. If I disable automatic updating, then I don't see any network connections in my network monitor.'
