Linux/Proxmox compatibility

[raffaele.vall]

Hi,
it is written everywhere that S1 N97 is compatible with Linux and due to the double Ethernet card also with pfsense.
I need to install Proxmox to also virtualize pfsense but the seller told me that the fan speed would not be managed according to the load/temperature of the CPU if I install Linux.
It is true?
If so, it is not true that it is compatible with Linux

Bonjour
Proxmox installé depuis quelques jours avec 2 VM dont une avec plusieurs containers Docker et je n'ai pas de problèmes de température, bon il fait froid en ce moment

Code: Select all

nvme-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite:    +52.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +82.8°C)
                       (crit = +84.8°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0:  +44.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 0:        +44.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1:        +44.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 2:        +44.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 3:        +44.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

ok, thanks for the reply, I hope I don't have any problems

Were you able to read the fan speed? With Fancoltrol LMsensors I can't read it, the temperature never drops below 50° even with very low workloads. I have the impression that the fan always has the same speed and does not change it with the temperature. Did you succeed?

Sei riuscito a leggere la velocità della ventola? Con Fancoltrol LMsensors non riesco a leggerlo, la temperatura non scende mai sotto i 50° anche con carichi di lavoro molto bassi. Ho l'impressione che la ventola abbia sempre la stessa velocità e non la cambi con la temperatura. Ci sei riuscito?

It would be nice if someone more knowledgeable could provide an answer. Thank you

I run the latest ubuntu desktop on my S1, and I can confirm that the fan does speed up under heavy loads. you can test it by overloading the cpu with:

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

open multiple ssh session into your s1 and run the above to stress test the cpu.

Many tks Bob for reply, I will try.
It's strange that the temperature never drops below 48/49 °C.
Other mini PCs I have also reach 40°C with low load
