This SilverStone RM43-320-RS sounds like it's trying to take off when all three of the 120MM fans are plugged into the back of the disk controller for power. You'd think there was a mini-tornado in my office, and you can hear it all the way across the house.
I figured NO PROBLEM, nothing a little lm-sensors and fancontrol can't fix. After running into issues with this particular MOBO, I went in a totally different direction.
Why not use BIOS fan curves on the MSI MPG Z590 GAMING PLUS, to avoid worrying about any OS or docker based solutions. That appeared to work like a charm... in BIOS... with an HDMI monitor plugged in.
But on reboot.... system shows hung....
Must be the lm-sensors.... GRUB e - bypass loading components... no luck. GRUB e - emergency...... finally back in... Ok... well... lucky me I did a ZFS snapshot RIGHT before starting any of these shenanigans. Rollback the snapshot....
Display shows.... hung.
At this point, I'm thinking... "Ok... this system booted up FINE before... this is either due to BIOS control of the PWM fans.... or this MONITOR is hanging the boot.... which makes ZERO SENSE."
On a whim, I checked if I could SSH... lo and behold:
ssh root@*********
root@*********'s password:
Blimey. She's not hung at all, never has been. I have the GPU in passthrough so that we can Sunshine to the LR TV.
label added to prevent future shame
I didn't need that hour of my life anyways.
Hope it brings a chuckle to others, like it did me.
