SCALE - Force Load Driver (nct6683)

TrueNAS General
1

Hi Everyone,

i‘m trying to get fan speed control working within truenas using docker as explained in this thread:

So, now i‘m somewhat stuck with the issue that the board my system is using (AsRock Z370 Pro4) uses the nct6683 chip for all the additional sensors. when doing “sensors-detect” it recognizes the device but tells me “not activated” because it seems like the driver for this specific chip needs to be force loaded on intel platforms.

How do i do that?

If you have developer skills, there is a mode for you.

Thanks a lot! Found another way via a pre-init script, just doing modprobe -f nct8863 is working fine.

Now I’m stuck at the container not being able to control the fans and thus crashing. But that’s another topic :slight_smile:
