      Hi guys

      I have an issue with my setup but dont know whats causing it.

      I have wired up some stepper cooler fans to the Always On port of my board, however since doing this when i turn on my machine my heatsink fan now starts up ( ignores the 45deg temp setting to turn on ) and my parts cooling fan turns on slowly as well.
      if i disconnect the always on fan everything operates as normal but plug the fans back in they all spin on startup

      do i need to enter something into my config to stop this from happening?
      i current have this set in my config.

        Are you using 12V fans running off the onboard buck converter? It sounds like you might just be drawing too much current and causing a voltage drop.

          @baird1fa no all my fans are 24v - no converters in place

            Sounds like a wiring problem. Can you show how they are wired?
