![]() ![]() It is possible that the sensor of the fan might have broken, i know there is away to check that with a GUI with Ubuntu and Windows so i will explain both. There can be two things at play here and for that there are two things you can do/try.Ĭertain settings can be found/only be found in the BIOS, one of these settings that can be found in the BIOS are the fan settings, you can check here if there is something wrong there. However I do not have an ASUS so you might need something more than just tlp. Does not work with the most recent models.įor myself after installing tlp I was able to remove a couple of fan control programs I had struggled to setup for my laptop. asus_fan is a kernel module, which allows to control both fans on some older Asus laptops.Blacklisting this module will prevent keyboard backlight to work. It will only allow to control a single fan and if there is a second fan - you will not have any controls over it. asus-nb-wmi is a kernel module, which is included in mainstream Linux kernel and is loaded automatically in Asus laptops.If tlp by itself doesn't solve all your thermal issues there are specific steps you can take for ASUS Laptops: Kernel modules overview Installation is the predictable sudo apt install tlpĬonfiguration is automatic and I've never had to change it out of the box. Nevertheless TLP is highly customizable to TLP comes withĪ default configuration already optimized for battery life, so you may Without the need to understand every technical detail. TLP brings you the benefits of advanced power management for Linux I struggled with fan speed and thermal issues for a long time before I found tlp which has solved all my problems. You may also need to add the following to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable in the /etc/default/grub file: acpi_enforce_resources=lax then rebuild the grub config grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg ![]() You may also need to edit /etc/nf, I had to add some stuff for the ASUS Z97, I posted those details on this thread. These are actual paths on the files system that you can browse to get an idea of what is available. For that you would manually edit your /etc/fancontrol file to include the full path of each pwm and replace the id with ]* like so: /sys/devices/platform/nct6775.656/hwmon/hwmon]*/pwm1 ![]() There are known issues where sometimes the hwmon ids change between boots, leaving your fans out of control. Running pwmconfig to test and configure each fan and creates the /etc/fancontrol file.Running sensors-detect to ensure you have the correct modules and updates /etc/modules ( /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors on RH) to have the nct6775 entry.The typical steps for fancontrol setup include: ![]()
