Subject: [lm-sensors] A better fan control program
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2006 10:09:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44A2556C.7070205@lshift.net> (raw)

I know there are several programs out there that adjust your fan speed 
based on temperature readings.  However, I couldn't find one worked well 
on my system, so I wrote my own.   This program takes a very simple 
approach: if the system is too hot, the fans run on maximum power, 
otherwise they run at minimum power.  The reasoning behind this approach 
is explained at length here:

and the resulting program, in C, is available here:

This is now running on my system and I'm very happy with the results.

Should this be the program that ships by default with lm-sensors?  Let 
me know what you think.  Thanks!
