Only three fans speeds are supported (high, low, and off). The temperature points at which the fan changes speed can be adjusted in the same configuration file.

dell-bios-fan-control-git AUR - recommended if your BIOS overrides fan control.

tk - must be installed together with tcl to run as X11 desktop applet.

tcl - must be installed in order to run i8kmon as a background service (using the -daemon option).

acpi - must be installed to use i8kmon.

Additionally, you might want to install these:

I8kutils AUR is the main package to control fan speed. Warning: i8kutils BIOS system calls stop the kernel for a moment on some systems (confirmed on Dell 9560), this can lead to side effects like audio dropouts, see Installation If fancontrol will not work on your system, use the ignore_dmi=1 kernel module parameter to load dell_smm_hwmon.

Results will vary depending on the exact model of laptop.

Mint 18.3 config fancontrol driver#

It uses the /proc/i8k interface provided by the i8k driver (an alias for dell_smm_hwmon). I8kutils is a daemon to configure fan speed according to CPU temperatures on some Dell Inspiron and Latitude laptops. It can be installed as nbfc-linux AUR or nbfc-linux-git AUR. It does not depend on the Mono framework. NBFC-Linux is a lightweight implementation of NBFC, written in C. More information about configuration is available at upstream wiki. For example, on Asus Zenbook UX430UQ, the configuration Asus Zenbook UX430UA did not work well (fans completelly stopped all the time), but Asus Zenbook UX410UQ worked fantastically. If there are no recommended models, go to NBFC git repository or /opt/nbfc/Configs/ and check if there are any similar models available from the same manufacturer. If above solution did not help, try appending ec_sys.write_support=1 to kernel parameters.

# mv /opt/nbfc/Plugins/ /opt/nbfc/Plugins/.old Note: If you are getting File Descriptor does not support writing, delete and restart rvice: After that, run the following to check if it detected the sensors correctly:Ĭore 0: +29.0☌ (high = +76.0☌, crit = +100.0☌) This will detect all of the sensors present and they will be used for fancontrol.

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. fw-ectool-git AUR - Fan configuration for Framework Laptops.įancontrol is a part of lm_sensors, which can be used to control the speed of CPU/case fans.ISW-Modern - Fan control application for MSI laptops.fan2go-git AUR - An alternative to Fancontrol independent of device-paths.

Mint 18.3 config fancontrol manual#

ASUS laptops - Configure some ASUS laptops for Fancontrol or manual control.

Lenovo Legion Linux - Fan speed configuration and other settings for some Lenovo Legion laptops.

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.
