The term "PWM" is used because most fan control systems

See fancontrol(8) for additional information. Opportunity to establish mappings between fans and temperature inputs,ĭefine the temperature range over which the speed of the fan should beĪdjusted dynamically, the minimum speed at which the fan should spin, etc. System based on temperature measurements. Lastly, pwmconfig will enter in fancontrolĬonfiguration mode (unless you decide to skip that part.) In this mode, youĪre invited to enter several parameters which will determine how theįancontrol daemon regulates the speed of one or more fans in your Pwmconfig can generate a detailed correlation, to show how a givenįan is responding to various PWM duty cycles. When a connection is established between a PWM control and a fan, Installed, even if your sensor chip supports PWM. Note that many motherboards do not have PWM circuitry (PWM) controls, and tests each one to see if it controls a fan on your Pwmconfig searches your sensors for pulse width modulation There is no significant system load, to minimize the risk of It is strongly recommended to run pwmconfig at a time when
#Linux fancontrol config driver
This function gets the temperatures and fanspeeds from kernel driver files and calculates new speeds depending on temperature changes, but only if the temp is between MINTEMP and MAXTEMP. Motherboards and fans, it shouldn't be blindly trusted. fancontrol first reads its configuration, writes it to arrays and loops its main function. Spinning when they are supposed to, but due to the diversity of available pwmconfig does its best to check that the fans are Verify that all fans are running at normal speed after this program

This may cause your processor temperature

Pwmconfig will attempt to stop your fans, one at a time,įor approximately 5 seconds each. Pwmconfig - tests the PWM outputs of sensors and configures
