Hi there, since many years I use fancontrol on many systems - its a great software - thanks a lot. On my new system it does not stop my CPU-fan - just slows the fan down. I have a ASUS p5k-v with a w83627ehf, Ubuntu 8.10 (and 8.04) with a intel boxed fan (4-pins on the cable to the fan), uname -a : Linux 2.6.27-9-generic SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux I did: cd /sys/devices/platform/w83627ehf.656/ echo 255 > pwm2 The fan is at full speed (cat fan2_input yields 2556) echo 0 > pwm2 The fan does NOT stop, it just goes slow (cat fan2_input yields 1010) pwmconfig and fancontrol have the same problem. How can I stop the fan completely? I also tried the "Thermal Cruise mode", but this does not stop the fan, too. The content of the files in /sys/devices/platform/w83627ehf.656/ cat pwm2: 0 cat pwm2_enable: 1 cat pwm2_min_output: 1 cat pwm2_mode: 1 cat pwm2_stop_time: 1000 cat pwm2_target: 60000 cat pwm2_tolerance: 10000 I am looking forward to your answers Thanks in advance ruena _______________________________________________________________________ Sensationsangebot verl?ngert: WEB.DE FreeDSL - Telefonanschluss + DSL f?r nur 16,37 Euro/mtl.!* http://dsl.web.de/?ac=OM.AD.AD008K15039B7069a
