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.

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.

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.
