TL/DR: "you like computers bro? Okay, but did you put a small computer inside your big computer to send data about the big computer and the case it's in to another computer?"Īlso: I'm fully aware there are numerous off the shelf solutions, but having more granular control helps in situations where variances in MOBOs, coolers and the like result in the wrong data being picked up ( E.g., fans and water coolers via AIDA64 on my setup), plus it's easier to incorporate data from external sources. I'm not sure that would provide better cooling, even if my updated fan controller is fairly "smart" but finding out should be a fun endeavor. Jokes aside, my eventual plan is that this will be the basis of a "smart" cooling system for the cluster, where the fans for the individual SBCs and the case will be controlled independently of the individual devices themselves, based on the temperatures of the room, air intake, air exhaust and the on board CPU, NVME, et al, sensors. in case you're wondering the exhaust air is (on average) 11.4 degrees celsius hotter than the intake air. Because, as we all know, you definitely need to know the difference in temperature between the air going in and coming out of your gaming PC while playing heavily modded (e.g., ENB, updated animations, AI and other resource intensive mods) Fallout 4 or Skyrim. What started out as me toying around with some ideas for a solution to monitor case temps + hardware for a single board computer cluster I'm building, turned into, "gamer/engineer finds way to prototype a monitoring solution for his cluster project, while also building an unnecessary but fun monitoring solution for his gaming PC".
