16:21: Playing with fan speed control in order to make my living room quieter
16:22: On the older machine with a Zalman HD160b case, it was as simple as changing the outputs I was using on the "ZM-MC1 Multi Connector"
16:23: On the newer machine, which as a "BIOSTAR TForce TF7050-M2 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 7050PV HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard", it turns out I have software case fan speed control and didn't realise
16:23: To get it going:
16:23: - sudo sensors-detect
16:24: - sudo pwmconfig
16:29: Unfortunately, the controllers don't appear to actually affect fan speed (despite PWM saying it is). I guess that means its time for a hardware solution.
18:29: Selfish eating at Chevy's cause SJR can't
20:20: Went to Frys and bought two "Thermaltake Smart Fan 2"s for the machine without the funky Zalman cable
20:21: Of course, one of them was dead on arrival. Hurrah.
