[lm-sensors] Fancontrol

[r.marek@sh.cvut.cz (Rudolf Marek)]

Hello,

It seems the best would be to disable the fancontrol script it must load from /etc/
you can see it active with ps ax command.

Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with fancontrol stuff and I dont know your Linux distribution but here is general steps:

Steps for manual control:

1) disable (or delete fancontrol script that loads on startup of computer)
2) go to /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-290/   (the directory 0-290 might be different, just inspect every directory in devices/ and find that one with "pwm1" ... files)
3) to change fan speed do: echo 128 > pwm1  (or pwm2 etc depends how is your fan connected, values are from 0=stop 255=fullspeed)
4) you can use pwmconfig to tell you the correlation values between fanspeed and PWM value.
5) put the echo ... > /sys/bus/....  line somewhere to startup scripts.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Rudolf
