Can someone help me with my noctua fan?
January 13, 2024, 16:44
I have a noctua fan, the NF A4x10 5V fan, I currently have it on the 3 to 2 pin adapter, so the yellow wire labeled "RPM Speed signal" in the docs is unused, Does anyone know what pin i should put that into so I can use it? I have red wire in 5v and black in ground but yellow unused, and I would like to be able to use it.
it may not work but try pin 14
alr thanks
then you need to enable it
how
run sudo raspi-config go down to performance and enable temp controlled fan. set it to pin 14 and your activation temp, I prefer 60°c myself
14 is a ground pin tho
no it isn't
idk what that is but the official one says ground so idk what pin ur talking about here
it's right next to a 5v and ground pin. that's why it's usually chosen so you can have them all in one straight line
oh GPIO14
i thought you meant like pin 14
yeah
alr ill try it
well it's usually called that but that has a little weird naming
I usually don't count the ground or power pins
alr
or EPROM pins
is there a way to enable that setting using ssh on my pc? i dont have any spare HDMI cables rn
i turned it on and set it to 60, i restarted the pi like it asked me but it just full throttles all the time still, when it asked for the pin was i supposed to put 14 for GPIO 14 or 8 for pin 8
yes, this is all done through the terminal
I only use the terminal
14
thats wierd then its set to 60 but it full throttles all the time still
do i need to code it?
run vcgencmd measure_temp
37.9
ok definitely not 60° then
hmm must be the noctua fan having different pwm stuff. add it to a ground pin and see what happens
alr
yeah still not doing anything, ill just leave it how it is
so when it's attached to ground it's going full throttle?
yeah still is
ok then somethings wrong there
because that's not how pwm works
that may be why...
its not a pwm fan
ðŸ˜
omg I thought instead of rpm you said pwm ðŸ˜
oh
ok well that's the only way the pi offers
ah ok then thanks
