How to install Liquid Cooling Drivers?

[turdor]

Hello!
I need to install Antec Kuhler 920 CPU Liquid Cooling drivers to control temp of my crazy AMD FX9590.
USB passthrough do not work for some reason and I would like to control it from host anyway.
Drivers (attached) are from SourceForge dot net /projects/kuhlerdriver/ (I'm not allowed to post links yet).
Is it OK to install it in general? Is this package good for Proxmox?
What is the process? I'm a bit confused with instructions found in readme:

simply type "make".

you will require the following extra libraries:

libusb-1.0-0-dev

if unresolved references to sem_wait show up, AND you are running ubuntu 12.04:
sudo apt-get install libpthread-stubs0-dev

INSTALL the following udev rule: [I suggest /etc/udev/rules.d/10-kuhler.rules]

# antec kuhler 920
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2433", ATTR{idProduct}=="b111", GROUP="kuhler"

# antec kuhler 920-v4 -- UNTSTED!
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2433", ATTR{idProduct}=="b200", GROUP="kuhler"


to run on BOOTUP:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2433", ATTR{idProduct}=="b111", GROUP="kuhler", RUN+=/var/local/kuhlerd


Notes:
in order for non-root users to use kuhler_ctl and kuhler_d, the above device rules must be installed in udev [as above]. Additionally, the following must be done [most of this is done by the install script]

- SETGID must be applied to kuhlerd
- /var/local/kuhlerd should have group ownership of kuhler
- the "main" user should be a member of the kuhler group

PLEASE HELP! =)

Hi,

s it OK to install it in general? Is this package good for Proxmox?

Yes but we can't help you with external sources.
You will see if it interfere with PVE ;-)

install the following packages

apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev build-essential
then extract the tarball
go into the dir and call

make

Thanx,
I did install libusb, I also had to install make and gcc after updating in general (took me sometime to figure it out), then "make" worked, but no results for some reason...

Anyone have some positive results with any Liquid Cooling from Asetec?
They do OEM for Corsair, NZXT, EVGA, Intel, Arctic, Antec, Cryorig, Thermaltake, I guess AMD stock etc. Funny part the slogan of Asetec is Data Center Liquid Cooling ))) I understand I do use desktop model from Antec (Kuhler 920), but anyway...

Why not include Asetec support with proxmox? It's a very simple driver which will support all brands mentioned And probably their data center solutions as well.

This kind of HW is very rare and normally you find it in Gaming machines and not in Server class builds.
So it makes no sense for as to include this.

Any messages? Does /var/local/kuhlerd exist?
