I was wondering if some place makes a "header board" for 3-wire fans (tachometer fans).
I would like to install tachometer fans in my PSU units, and just general HDD/etc. cooling fans in my servers which are co-located. I currently remotely monitor and graph fan speeds and CPU temps remotely for the on-board stuff. But, I did have a system go down a while back because the fan in the PSU failed, woulda been easy to spot if I was monitoring.
Thinking either PCI card or something that can monitor like 4+ fans. If it had extra temp sensor connectors so I could monitor temps in various locations of the case that would be cool as well, but not neccessary.
It would either need to have software available for linux, or have a good spec on how to access the info so I could write a quickie app to check temps. Could even connect to like the serial port or something (I'd think that would be a lot easier).
any ideas?
