1 Hi all,
2
3 I'm facing a little issue with my laptop and cpu fan.
4
5 When I turn my laptop on, even if the temperature is, for example 35
6 Celsius, kernel still keeps the cpu fan on. I'd like to know how I could
7 turn it off manually.
8
9 Why this?
10
11 Because, as now I got my speedstep working :), my cpu freq keeps down to
12 1.6G and the cpu doesn't get hot so much, so, if I'm using battery, or
13 I'm in an quiet ambient, the cpu fan will be on for a long time...
14
15 Kernel only turns off my cpu fan after the temperature passes the 48C
16 and come back to 42, 43. And turns it on again when it reaches the 51C.
17
18
19 When I reach this level, it is ok. Kernel works as expected turning the
20 fan on and off. The problem is before reaching this level, the fan
21 doesn't turn off.
22
23 I'd like to know if there is something I could do to tell kernel to turn
24 off my fan if temperature is below 42C for example, even after a fresh
25 boot, when temperature starts with 35C.
26
27 Thanks in advance.
