I asked about fancontrol because atk0110 itself does not control the fan, but an external monitoring program may react to the higher temperature. Asus BIOS defines a "Q-FAN" mode, which - when set to auto - allows the system to adjust fan rotation based on CPU temperature. atk0110 driver does not change the settings defined in the BIOS screen (I haven't decoded the interface yet!). > The funny thing is that right after computer startsup, the lm_sensors report > correct diode CPU temp, like around 36C, and fan is spinning at around > 600rpm, but after idling a minutes or two, that value suddenly jump up to > 47C and you hear the fan speeding up to 1100rmp, while the coretemps are > still the same as before, further more, I touched the "cold" CPU heat sink, > 47C is definitely NOT true. So how does the atk0110 work? It just report the value calculated by the firmware, the driver itself does not perform any "adjustment" on the temperature. > Why this wrong reporting only happens after a minites of startup, instead of from the > beginning? Because the monitoring stuff embedded on the board decided so ;-) Really, the driver is just passing up the data. Please send me a copy of the DSDT.
