My old desktop machine's default fan controller behaviour was pretty terrible, which is why I used software to control the fans, but my current desktop machine's fan controller has customisable fan curves so I use that instead. Generally it's best to let the hardware control itself, with a profile set in the UEFI. Not being able to send the signal is probably just from using the wrong interface, or perhaps there isn't actually an interface for it. The CPU fan in my old machine would never go less than 400 rpm, for example. The output that you get from a given signal probably can't be changed: that's likely inherent in the behaviour of the fan controller itself. Sometimes the numbering changes with big updates to kernel modules, and you need to load the right module in the first place for them to show up - as the output from sensors-detect will tell you.

The interfaces look exactly like text files.
#Ubuntu fancontrol portable#
Fan Control is a powerful and versatile portable utility that. You've not said where you got the hwmon3/pwm1 from: is it just a guess, or have you got a reason to think that you should have something responding there? The hardware monitor interface is exposed as a pseudo-filesystem: you can browse /sys/class/hwmon to see which interfaces are being provided. Ubuntu installation instructionsHow to control rgb on linux Hi, complete beginner here. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. i have the same pc as you have the ideacentre 510s and as far as i know it is not possible to controll the fanspeed on this model when running any version of ubuntu.i hope somebody can find a solution to this problem because the fan speed is too low so the cpu gets a bit too hot at times.there is no option to increase the fanspeed in bios. In that case, how can I check the type of my fan and properly control it ?lm-sensors/sensors-detect will take its best guess at the inputs and outputs of the various sensor chips and list them, but it's mostly reverse-engineered.

Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol. Here is my fanconfig configuration:Īt idle state my laptop's CPU is ~50 degree celcius, thus i've set my mintemp to this value.Īfter running fancontorl i get this output:

This results in my fans either running relatively low, or too high. What conserns me, is the, let's say, non-linear behaviour of my fans, here is the pwm setting and fan speed which follows with it: I've had some issued with cooling, so I've followed this guide: for fancontrol configuration. I've recently bought Dell Inspiand installed new version of Ubuntu, 20.04.
