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.

Mine is also not silent.Note: Laptop users should be aware about how cooling system works in their hardware. No, adjusting the voltage has no effect (again, at pretty much zero load so I assume it is temperature driven). Novak spent more time playing with it, I'll see if he's got any notes on the thing.ĭoes adjusting the voltage affect the fan? my fan turns down after startup too but not silent If that's the case we might have slightly different supplies or possibly yours has a bad temperature sensor or something.ĭoes adjusting the voltage affect the fan? my fan turns down after startup too but not think we've got one of these at the shop. I can double check but for some reason I was thinking the fan went on full speed when the supply is first powered on but slowed after a second or so (at basically zero load). Here's the pinout reference I found and everything I checked on it seems to be correct- but it has no fan speed control. I didn't really look for fan control, I pretty much just switched it on and played with voltage adjust.ī2 to 5v via potentiometer = voltage increaseĬ4 to 5v via potentiometer = voltage increase Novak spent more time playing with it, I'll see if he's got any notes on the thing. I think we've got one of these at the shop.
