Hello All,
I’m having an issue with my Quad SATA Hat running on RaspberryPi 4B 8Gb. The thing is that the fan on the top is active at 100% all the time. I’ve posted in this thread:
@setq @asa Hey there, were you guys able to resolve this issue? It seems I’m hitting the same thing. I’ve tried the suggestions here, but alas to no avail.

I also saw that there are other people with similar problems:
Hi, just wanted to add my experience to this topic: I experienced a similar problem with the Quad sata hat in connection to running the setup on a Raspberry Pi 4b: the fan of the top board was spinning at full speed, no matter what, immediately from the moment I connected the 12V power supply. After some troubleshooting I was able to isolate the problem. In my case, the fan itself was the faulty part. the oled display worked well at all times, as well as the sata drives with full usb3 speed. aft…
so… after suffering from CPU fan failure (the quality of the fan is bad, seriously), i sought out replacement fans or heatsink for the raspi (on top of the noctua 40mm fan replacement for the top hat) as i stay in the bloody hot and humid tropics and my daily temps hover around 34 deg, which is HOT…
these are the two solutions i tried:
1. mini dual fan heatsink.
Had to jank the connecters a little for it to work with the sata hat, nothing major. The temps were disappointing as the pi is idli…
I’ve tried some of the suggestions, but they didn’t work. I’ve ordered a brand new top hat with fan and oled included - same issue.
At this point I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong, but so far I can’t find anything wrong with the config.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
