Dell Workstation Owners Club

When it started up, did you allow it to check for Dell specific fan ICs? It should have asked.

My bad I forgot to restart the program after activating the dell fan support, it was not showing them so I thought it was broken.
It seems to notice my fans now.

Ah, yes. You should now be able to change those fan speeds.

Well that sucks, either it's low speed either it's FULL SPEED.
5000 RPM chassis fan is unbearable....
I tried to tweak the curve but this fan control at dells's level is stupid

And for the back fan it's
SetFanPwm - ERROR (f=6)
SetFanPwm - ERROR (f=6)
SetFanPwm - ERROR (f=6)

I think I can't do much about this workstation's fans :s

Weird. I just booted my T3500 and tested, it seems to work ok. It's been a hot minute since I've last worked with a T5810. I'm sorry.

@Trotro_Rigolo on my 7910 under auto I can set a "minimum" fan speed, I found about 20% to keep me more comfortable with the temps maybe you can try something similar to that(if that isn't available on the 5810 maybe check for a bios update I don't remember seeing it on the bios my system showed up with but it's there now under A34)

 

[lexluthermiester]

Lol they don't want me to bother my coworkers with the fan noise, with my office machine... at home.
This is counterproductive, because the system fans are silent, but the RTX 2060 Super is not silent, spinning at 2800ish RPM in heavy games.
Dell would reply it was not sold with that card and it's not their problem I guess.
I just tried fan control and could see only my GPU In FanControl which is useless for me, I see they use libre hw monitor so it's kind of the same techno?

I managed to add a fan at the back, a customized official Dell Fan inserted in the "hdd_fan" header.


I have the impression that my 5810 can only control the fans in the BIOS, and that bios is.... disappointing to say the least.

In this post you attached a photo of you system. I have added in an edit. You should mount fans on the sizes indicated in spots indicated. Don't use Dall fans, use something else and use your adapter cable you made.

Make sure you have them pointed with the airflow moving to the rear/out of the case. This will improve cooling greatly.

The T5810 features two airshrouds over the memory banks as standard. These may help, too.

Then there is (a header for) a temperature sensor.
Normally intended to measure the harddrives temperature, placed near the gpu´s exhaust one maybe can alter at least the speed of the front case fans (+ auxiliary fan? I think this one is fixed speed only.)

Shrouds and temperature sensor are expensive parts compared to the price of a used Precision WS.
