Fan settings...

[Andyg1988]

I have the vu solo 2 on vix 808 build my fan running about 1900rpm all day long and the temperature averages about 32c is that healthy? On standby my fan is off. (Usually over night) so in the mornin I've checked it and it's about 33-34c

32c is perfectly fine, and nothing at all to worry about.

That is even very low, so speed could go down .
If you use Fancontrol2 the speed will be regulated automatically.

Where can I find fancontrol2? Also is leàving the fan on 24hr advisable?

Via the feeds.

i am on ZEUS Build 17 now and the temperature & fan speed are still not showing in Fan Control since build 11, mind you temp still shows on the image information page
one other question when in fan control what dose (standby Fan 1 PWM) do, is that a backup program in case Fan 1 PWM fails or is that for boxes with a option to fit a second fan inside

regards norm

Standby fan is for when the box is in standby (off)
We know about the missing bits too, will be sorted soon

thanks for that marty i wondered what it was for so should i set the standby fan the same as 1 pwm or leave it as it is set currently with nothing showing on the bar

regards norm

No real point in it being on when in standby

never thought of that Doooo lol

Actually when the box is in standby its still running at almost full pelt. Only the audio and video outputs have been disabled. Every thing else is still running. I always set my fan to a third for standby use.

Exactly. Let alone when the box is recording and or streaming.
For this I find Fancontrol2 an excellent solution: automated speed control, dictated by the actual temperature. No worries (but if you have them, you can see the temperature graph via a browser).

I always though the fan came on when recording?

Anyway more to the point is fancontrol2 is a good solution then why not have it embedded in VIX for boxes with fans?

Thank you for explaining that Rob & pheonix i have set the Standby fan to the same as Fan 1 PWM better safe than sorry as i sometimes have recordings set for when i am in bed

Rob, what settings do you recommend? (for the plugin)
