Laptop fan speed control drivers#

Check the official lm-sensors devices table to see if experimental drivers are available for such motherboards. Support for newer motherboards may not yet be in the Linux kernel. fan2go - An alternative to Fancontrol independent of device-paths.ДЇancontrol is a part of lm_sensors, which can be used to control the speed of CPU/case fans.ASUS laptops - Configure some ASUS laptops for Fancontrol or manual control.ThinkPad laptops - Fan configuration for some ThinkPad laptops.Dell laptops - Alternative fan control daemon for some Dell laptops.Most suitable for latest, unsupported by Fancontrol laptops. NoteBook Fan Control (NBFC) - Cross-platform solution for laptop fan control, written in C# and works under Mono runtime.Most suitable for desktops and laptops, where fan controls are available via sysfs(5). Fancontrol (lm-sensors) - Script (written in Bash) to configure fan speeds.There are multiple working solutions for fan control for both desktops and notebooks. Here is some more information about this topic. In some cases, you will not be able to use the Fancontrol script due to incompatible cooling architecture (e.g. Some laptops have two fans for CPU and GPU, but the first fan cools down CPU and GPU at the same time, while the other one cools CPU only. Some laptops have single fan for both CPU and GPU and cools both at the same time. Note: Laptop users should be aware about how cooling system works in their hardware. 9.2.2 Alternative solution: absolute paths.9.2 Device paths have changed in /etc/fancontrol.9.1 Increase the fan divisor for sensors.7.5 Fan control modes on certain TUF series laptops.7.3 Alternative method using EC registers.7.2 Generate configuration file with pwmconfig.2.4 Fancontrol stops working after suspendвЂ“wake cycles.
