I have added in /etc/sensors.conf : set pwm1_zone 123 set pwm1_min_ctl 0 set pwm1_min 0 set temp1_min 20 set temp1_max 60 # dothan's max temp is actually around 100?C set temp2_min 10 set temp2_max 45 set temp3_min 10 set temp3_max 45 It appears that when the fan reaches 3000rpm it never spins down below that speed whatever the temp#_min and temp#_max are. I ran pwmconfig and fancontrol but fancontrol adjusts fan speed only to one temperature, and moreover, it says that access to fan1_pwm_enable is denied. Actually i can't find an easy way to adapt the fan speed (fan1) according the 3 temperatures, so that fan speed is as low as possible. Thank you. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCGgSAoBxdxgioZBIRAkPZAJ9vmk0U7gsWWuh26UPHlQ6VD2UBlgCfW959 Aa6lNVPvx1cITevx7KjbsMU= =eHFw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
