Any way to change the fan settings from Automatic to low/medium/high?

No. FYI---I had problems using two Seagate 3 TB drives that were on the recommended drive list, support got them working but they stopped after 1 day of use. I know that this unit has gotten good reviews and is an inexpensive unit. Not like other NAS, you'll need to install the software that's included on each computer that you want to use the storage with. Buy the way, Iomega support said Western Digital drives worked more consistently with it than Seagates.

It automatically changes the fan speed as needed. I'm not sure if it ever completely turns the fan off or if it is just at a very low speed.

It's not bad at the low fan setting. Very noisy at high level though and if you forget to turn it off and sit down to eat with it on you will quickly get up and turn it off.

Not sure what you are referring to. If you mean heat settings, there is no high and low, just plug it in and let it heat up.

You can use the switch for the fan on "automatic"--on-and-off or "on"--where the fan stays on all the time. I actually use that to keep the temperatures more moderate. But my mom and mother-in-law like the automatic better. Maybe that is what you are experiencing?

Setting options are high, med, low. I use the fan pretty much exclusively at night and for me the low setting keeps my bedroom very comfortable. I hardly ever use med or high.

To my knowledge is it not controlled by any sort of sensor. There is an adjustment dial for fan speed but that's about it. I don't think you can turn it off either.

There is an option to run the fan where it is always on. There is an "auto" function when it only runs when the furnace/ac is running. And there is a function where it can be set to run randomly about 35% of the time whether the furnace/ac is running or not.

No need at all to change the fans. The cooling is more than enough. I play heavy games with a cross fire config and it does ir perfectly

I don't know the answer to that, it has several settings, I pick the one best for me. We do like the fans. Glad we got them.

There is a teeny-tiny switch located on the side of the card beneath the power connectors that governs the behavior of the fans. In the default setting, only one fan runs at low temperatures; the other two start up as the temperature of the card rises. In the other setting, all fans run all the time, but at speeds governed by card temperature.

I have heard of people needing to change their settings because they where operating the neighbors fan so I don't see why you couldn't. Make sure you can return it and try it out.Good luck

yeah, that would be extremely annoying :) I have mine running a PC case fan that blows on it while its on, then the built-in fan never runs, and PC fan is MUCHO quieter.

yes. can select low or high (constant) run, or can use thermostat 60 to 80 degrees and fan will turn off at desired temp and back on to maintain it. Fan does make A buzzing sound at low speed, but not high speed.

I think the auto thermostat just speeds up the fan when under load. I wouldn't worry about it.

yes you can set the temprature and the fan has an "auto" function to automatically adjust the fan speed according to need.

Yes you can change them in the settings. However i cant tell you how because i gave the computer back within the same week due to how slow it ran with the internet
