When the module thinkpad_acpi (I suspect dependent on laptop type) is loaded with the option fan_control=1 you can do things like echo level 7|sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan or echo level disengaged|sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (the last one is the loudest and fastest) in order to set a particular fan speed. echo level auto|sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan resets to temperature-based. My laptop has a thermal design power of 35W and my CPU of 45W, so if I am doing heavy computations, I tend to crank the fan up in advance because it will underestimate where it has to go for a given temperature. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list -- linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to linux-audio-user-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
