Hi all,

Im trying to gain some control over my fans. Ive had this laptop (Clevo D900K) for 9 months now and
the noise has just become too much.

The documentation isnt really clear so could someone point me in the right direction.

alan@affront /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0 $ cat cooling_mode
cooling mode:   active
alan@affront /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0 $ cat polling_frequency
<polling disabled>
alan@affront /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0 $ cat state
state:                   ok
alan@affront /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0 $ cat temperature
temperature:             71 C
alan@affront /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0 $ cat trip_points
critical (S5):           95 C

I guess the trip_points are the key but my file seems to differ from the ones Im seeing on the web ...

Thanks for any advice,
Alan.
