good morning, Recently I have learned about the dmidecode program and found the address of the FRNTFAN port in my HP Z420 machine: 0x0037. Since I am a complete newbie, I would like to learn if there is a way to read and change the value at this address. I need a bit of guidance. *The context*: I have added 8 SAS disks to the machine, put noctua fan in front of them and connected the fan to the FRNTFAN port on the motherboard. It looks like the fan works, but I am sure the disks would benefit if the fan produced more pressure. Which I fantasize I could do via changing the value at the said address. Not sure, of course. best regards, Dmitry N. Medvedev
