sjaglin Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hi there, I googled a bit to find out how to control the fan speed of my cpu cooler but can t find anything. I can do it on the gfx card via nvclock so I assume it s possible for the cpu too isnt it? System is Biostar SFF ideq 210v Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I've never heard of controlling the cpu fan speed. I've never known this to be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaglin Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi, Well, me neither, until I installed Windoz on my PC to try the software which comes with the MOBO, and there indeed there is a control of the fan possible with three position (low/medium and high) for both the CPU and the system fan.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 You can try installing lm_sensors urpmi lm_sensors Then run sensors-detect. After setting that up, try running pwmconfig, which will write a fancontrol config file (use the command man fancontrol and man pwmconfig to learn more). Your motherboard may or may not support this.
