Greetings, Michael Zintakis! > Initially, when the board is first powered up, all fans (all 3 of them) > are at a standstill because the board temperature is low. This SHOULD NOT be the case. Precisely because of the issue you've outlined below: > [...] due to the fact of the actual physical fan inertia (for a lack of > better word), the fan does *not* start. All fans SHOULD spin at some low rate to make the system work. Alternatively, the BIOS may provide a kickstart, when there's rise of temperature over certain threshold, like you did in your script. I suggest you raise this issue with your board manufacturer. P.S. All capitalization in accordance with RFC#2119. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (hell-for-yahoo@xxxxxxxx) 28.06.2012, <07:08> Sorry for my terrible english... _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
