MINSTART Sets the minimum speed at which the fan begins spinning. MAXTEMP The temperature over which the fan gets switched to maximum speed. MINTEMP The temperature below which the fan gets switched to minimum speed. Then fancontrol can check the fan speed and restart it if it


FCFANS Records the association between a PWM output and a fan input. Temperature sensors should be used for calculation of new values for FCTEMPS Maps PWM outputs to temperature sensors so fancontrol knows which The configuration file is still up-to-date. DEVNAME Records hwmon class device names. This lets fancontrolĬheck that the configuration file is still up-to-date. INTERVAL This variable defines at which interval in seconds the main loop ofįancontrol will be executed DEVPATH Maps hwmon class devices to physical devices. Variables available for changing fancontrol's behaviour: Since most of you are going to use pwmconfig(8) script, the configįile syntax will be discussed last. Alternatively you can write thisįile yourself using the information from this manpage. Named pwmconfig(8) which lets you interactively write yourĬonfiguration file for fancontrol. Some fan fails, because you probably won't hear it anymore )ĬONFIGURATIONFor easy configuration, there's a script Warmer, just be sure to have a temperature alarm and/or shutdown call, in case In practice it doesn't seem to be a major issue, the fans will get slightly Also please keep in mind most fans aren't designed to be These components in 50 years, maybe you shouldn't use fancontrolĪt all. WARNINGPlease be careful when using the fan control features of your mainboard, inĪddition to the risk of burning your CPU, at higher temperatures there will beĪ higher wearout of your other hardware components, too. Sets the corresponding PWM outputs to the computed values. It reads itsĬonfiguration from a file, then calculates fan speeds from temperatures and
