About fancontrol: I could not control the CPU fan speed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

I am trying to control the speed of the CPU fan.  I would like to set
constant CPU fan speed.

My CPU fan is Intel Fan & Heatsink A65061-001, with 3 wires, green, yellow,
and black.

I run pwmconfig to see /sys/bus/i2c/devices/9191-0800/pwm1 is controling
fan1_input, which is the CPU fan, and saved the default configuration into
/etc/fancontrol file. The pwmconfig command didn't report any errors but I
noticed that when it reports the CPU fan speed of 0, the CPU fan is actually
still running. Also, the GNUPLOT graph of the correlation between PWM and
Fan Speed is very strange. The fan speed are 3233 for all PWM values 2--255,
and the fan speed is 0 for PWM=0. This is very weird.  The pdf file
pwmtest.pdf is enclosed for your reference.

Then I run fancontrol command. the command is running correctly without
reporting errors. Now the sensors command will only report a fan speed of 0
RPM. But the problem is the CPU fan is still running, it never stops at all.


I also tried not to use fancontrol. I use the command: echo 64 >
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/9191-0800/pwm1, but still this had no effect on the CPU
fan speed.

Could some one help me with the CPU fan speed control?

Thanks!

 BTW,
 I have an Intel D850MV motherboard. There is an ADM1025A sensor chip on the
motherboard. Also there is an LPC47M142-NC Super I/O chip on the
motherboard. My CPU is a Pentium 4 CPU, 1.7GHz.

The following is a sample output for my lm-sensors software.
