If not, you will have to look into what drivers you need to install to get those fans under your control. When you run pwmconfig, do all of your fans that you want to control stop/start when it says they should? If they do, then you should be able to control them. It sounds like you already have some fan control. That being said, you will need to determine whether you can get full support for your fans out of the box, or if you need to install additional drivers.
One of the advantages of Windows is most motherboard manufacturers create drivers for Windows, and in Linux someone has to reverse engineer it to get it to work. This is one of those things I wish there was a nice UI for and I think it would be easy to create. Is there any way to do this without using lm-sensors or fancontrol? Also, the linked thread I don't believe adequately explains how to manually change the current fan speed, only to set a range of speeds for automatic change. So I completely reinstalled Ubuntu and I'm trying again. I've read many threads that mention lm-sensors and fancontrol including How to control fan speed and I've tried following along to install these but using the terminal is very weird and I don't think I did it correctly because the fan seemed to get stuck at maximum speed and I didn't know how to change it. It was important because of FPS in the games I play changed based on my CPUs temperature. It's very different from windows and frustrating to try to learn how to do things when everything was so much simpler on Windows.Īs for my fan-On windows I was able to use SpeedFan to easily change what fan speeds I wanted my computer to have at whatever time I needed it to change by just clicking on some arrows. I've been using windows my whole life and recently my Windows 10 installation got corrupted and I needed to get a new one so I chose the free Ubuntu.
