Ubuntu control fan speed10/14/2023 ![]() Model Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz 35☌ I've got a similar question to the above. 120F would mean more or less 50C and that is also what I'm having on a T7250 at 2GHz (normal load).Hi, By the way, 120F is not at all much for a Core2 at that frequency. There is another ugly way of cooling your machine, by enabling the fans (still, if they are supported) manually. ![]() Before Hardy I had problems in 7.10 (the fans would stop but would not start). What version of Ubuntu are you running ? The thing is the T8300 might just be a bit too new to work with powersave (actually the acpi version of the system). It 's a faster and guaranteed to work solution ( I think this model of HP is not quite supported by powersave, I even tried the last git version. ![]() txt extension), just put it in /usr/local/bin. If the cpu gets hot, The next fan starts at 72 so I'm safe anyway. What I did was to create a script that (in my case) stops the third fan (third speed) which starts at 62C and starts the first one. When the temperature goes down and the fan stops (from high speed), the killed trip point is reactivated. A decent solution is to simply 'kill' the fan: stop one speed of the fan so that the fan will change speed only at the next trip point. ![]() If you make it start at, let's say 70C, the cpu will get hot eventually and the fans will start anyway very quickly. From my experience it is not recommended to shud down the fan completely. MarcusYes, the fan will go down only when the temperature will go under 45C. I have exactly the same 6820s as you (2 GHz with 4Gig). powersaved is running (at least when I am starting it, it says it is already running) and the fan is running at level two even when my temp just shows 57 (and will not slow down when temp goes down - I assume it will just go down when it is below 45). Thx for your posts as I am looking forward to keep my 6820s once I manage to stop the fan from running all the time.īut powersave -T still shows the same entries at the beginning. ![]()
