Control fan speed on MS-6380E

I have MSI KT3 Ultra MD with RAID (MS-6380E) with Athlon 1800. I have read, that "... CPU Fan supports fan control...", so, I install PC Alert 3 and...
ANd this PC ALert says, that I have NO CPU Fan and only FAN2 (system fan)... So - no speed control for this fan...
I download last version for PC Alert 3 - all the same...
I download PC Alert 4 - and (great!) it shows, that I HAVE CPU fan, but there is no fan control in this programm..
I - what shall I do? My "Thermaltake" fan works on the maximum speed with great noise. Can somebody helps me and say, what program can slow down the speed of the fan while the temperature of processor is normal?
Great thanks for your answers
P.S. Answers also available though e-mail [email protected] and [email protected]

Hi Vovka,
I'm sorry that MSI cannot provide you with the information.
Quote
I'm sorry to say I cannot fill him with the information since they are confidential
Because in order to build the said PCI card
At least required to have the Winbond I/O datasheets & on some instance motherboard circuit diagram
If you planned to make one by yourself, you might need to find information about Winbond I/O, ISA Bus access, SM Bus access to PCI.

Is there a way control fan speed in ubuntu linux to replace hp coolsense?

My computer is prone to over-heating when I'm using Ubuntu and so I'm trying to control the fan speeds. I've researched a little and I'm blocked on how to control fan speed and then installed `lm-sensors`and `fan control`.
I'm now trying to configure lm-sensors to no avail. In terminal I typed `sudo sensors-detect` and answer YES to all YES/no questions. Installed modules with` sudo /etc/init.d/kmod start`.
Now when I typed `sudo pwmconfig`
I get this output
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
The way I tried to fixed this is to edit /etc/default/grub to add `acpi_enforce_resources=lax` to the `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT` and then perform a grub update. I'm still having the same issue.
Could it be that my fans are PWM 3-pin where fan speed is controlled by voltage?
This is the output of the `sensors` command.

How to control fan speed on Satellite A660-11M?

please any body know how to control fan speed its always 69% and make bad noise and the cpu usage is 3% no at high processing i try advanced power settings but still runing at high speed

> I hope u didnt expect that they were gonna stay at 0% like forever
Of course I dont expect this. When you switch on the notebook CPU reach high temperature in few seconds only and you must not wonder if pretty high CPU temperature and fan activity will be shown very soon.
I dont know what do you expect but it is logic that cooling fan will run. Maybe all time maybe will be cut off for short period of time but it will run permanently. I dont see any problem there. With cooling method option it can be reduced a little bit.
And what is your question? I didnt understand what you want to know exactly.

How can I control fan speeds in Win7 on a MBP-R for gaming?

I have a MacBook Pro with Retina Display. It has had Windows 7 installed and I want to play some 3D action games. How do I stop internal parts from overheating? I intend to use a USB cooling pad but that'll do nothing if the internal fans remain at idle speed.
The only Windows fan speed control utility I could find was the 4-year old SpeedFan which fails to detect the presence of any internal fans. I'm not impressed with the Windows community's failure to offer more and better than this tired old relic.
So the questions remain:
(1) Is the hardware still capable of automatically accelerating the fans as temperatures rise while gaming in Windows?
(2) What In Windows forces the MBP-R to lock the nVidia GPU into continuous duty and ignores Intel GPU?
(3) What control does the user have for (2)?
(4) How can I protect my MacBook Pro/Retina from overheating while playing PC games, apart from not playing games?

Controlling Fan Speed

I would like to be in control of my Laptop's fan speed is there any way in which I can do this? Maybe some software? The software I have tried so far does not recognise it and let me change it.
I have the HP G7015EA
Thanks

Try CPUCool software. It has several different methods to detect temperature and control the fans.You do not need to use the overclocking features of the software in order to see temps and control the fans. You can select the method for detection of sensors the PC uses (transistor , thermal electrode , Pentium compatible on die) CPUCool works great on my SR1303WM I used the overclock feature on the Sempron 2 GHz. It increased speed to 2.2 GHz. (stable no audio or video defects at 100% CPU usage. 10% increase Free of charge. To overclock you will need the PLL # I found it listed on an ICS chip on the motherboard. Controller chip PLL# relates to the chip set on the board (north / south ridge) model Compaq Presario SR1303WM,motherboard ASUS A7V8X-LAcontrler chip ICS PLL# 950910AFchip set VT8237 / KM400A CPU Sempron 2.0 GHz. FSB 333 Hope this helps on the fan controller and temperature problems.

Controlling Fan Speed: "no pwm-capable sensor modules"

Thanks for stopping by - my problem is as follows:
lately the noise of my cpu (/chasis) fan is driving me nuts, so I wanted to lower the speed.
I followed this arch wiki guide.
this is my output of "sensors":

Most of the time my cpu fan speed is around 3800 rpm or more, even if the cpu temperature is stable on around 46°C.
I followed the guide and wanted to run "pwmconfig" - this is what I get, when running it as root:
[blub ~ ]$ sudo pwmconfig
# pwmconfig revision 5857 (2010-08-22)
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.
We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
For whatever reason, it is not finding any "pwm-capable sensor modules"..
I googled around and couldn't find any workaround for my issue and hoping you guys can help me out.

I'm also getting 'There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed' when trying to run the pwmconfig script. Not sure why.
I run Arch and Mint 'Maya' with the new KDE. I just reinstalled both because I put another harddrive in.
Now I know that with Maya before reinstalling the fan would calm down after I logged into Gnome. On Arch it just keeps going at full tilt.
I've googled around like a madman but keep running down dead ends on this.
Any success stories on folks getting this to work? Anyone have a good HOWTO they swear by?
Please help!!!

MSI Z87-G43 can't control fan speed

Hi, i just bought an MSI Z87-G43 and i'm using a i5-4670 on it (yeah, 4670 without the K).
I wanted the minimum noise as possible so i bought a Noctua NH-U12P SE2
Like the pictures shows it has 2 fans.
I connected the 2 fans on cpu1 and cpu2 fan and both BIOS and Commander Center can see them correctly, but both of them can't change the rotation speed.
Those fans have a 3 pins connector.
How can i do it? Now my CPU is cool and i like it, but a little more hot for a little less noise is a good deal (and my goal!)
thank you

As alternative you can get a fan controller like Sunbeamtech Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller, it should allow to use 4pin PWM singnal and convert it into voltage control,
Quote
Product Details:
Smart Way Controlling all Fans & Airflow. The Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller is designed to make any existing 3-pin fan automatically regularized by the PWM signal from the Motherboard! With its ability to connect two fans to a single PWM connector at a maximum of 20W/channel, a wide selection of fans can be supported. When a normal fan is connected to the Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller, they become auto adjusting through the PWM signal.
The Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller operates in two different modes; when connected to a PWM-enabled motherboard you can allow the system to auto-adjust fan speed through he motherboard's temperature sensor. When switched onto manual mode by the pushing of the lever-switch to the right, you turn the connected fan onto manual control mode.

Can't control fans speed after upgrading to kernel26 2.6.31 [solved]

Mother board is ASUS P5Q-SE. After upgrading pwm sensors disappeared. I can get temp and fans speed but not set. Any ideas? :-\

"This works for me" is a little vague. What worked for me specifically was to start with your link and drill down two levels of links to this webpage, http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/7932.html, which explained what the problem is and that the workaround is to add acpi_enforce_resources=lax to the kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
Someone who understands this issue better than I do should probably amend the appropriate sections of the wiki (lm_sensors, fancontrol, et al).

How can I control my fan speed?

How can I control my fan speed on my macbook pro? I use SMC for gaming and streaming video from the internet when using my Mac OS, but I partitioned my drive and installed Windows 8 in order to play a different game (not a huge game) and the computer heats up dramatically when playing on Windows through Boot Camp to the point that it freezes every time (it never does this when playing a mac game or streaming on the normal partition Mac OS).
Any suggestions or programs to control fan speed of the mac from windows?

Get a cooling pad. That will much better than trying to constantly adjust fan speeds.
Ciao.

[Solved] Asus L1366 mobo, cpu fan speed control

Hi, everyone,
I finally have this new core i7 system, to replace my old AMD athlonx2. I have one question about the CPU fan speed control.
I remember that in my old system, the cpu fan speed control works out of box, no configuration is needed.
But when I install arch 64 on this new i7 system, the cpu fan is running at its maximum speed constantly while the CPU temperature is modestly low. I know there is a wiki teaching how to do it.
However, I am just curious why it doens't work out of box any more? Does CPU fan control work for you guys out of box normally? especially the new Core i7 cpu users?
Please let me know, really appreciated it.
Thanks a lot.
Update: the issue is solved, see my last post, the solution is blacklisting: asus_atk0110, instead use w83667hg.
Cheers.

First off, it would be useful to know what the sensors-detect script actually reports.
Okay. How fan control works on Linux: First, navigate to /sys/class/hwmon
Each of these folders, i.e. hwmon0, stands for a sensors monitor / fan controller on your mainboard that may control one or several fans. Inside hwmonN, there should be a subfolder called device, which contains several interfaces if your BIOS allows software-side fan control. You can read them with cat and write to them with echo.
Examples:
pwm1_enable shows if OS-level fan control is enabled (1) or disabled and in BIOS control (0). Changing fan speed won't work if this is disabled. (i.e. cat /sys/class/hwmon0/device/pwm1_enable reports 0 -> disabled; you could enable it with echo 1 > /sys/class/hwmon0/device/pwm1_enable).
pwm1 allows to change fan speed. The values range from 0 (fan off) to 255 (full speed, 12V).
fan1_input shows the current RPM if a fan is connected. You can only read from this interface. Its useful to check all of these in the each of the hwmon folders to find out if there is actually a fan connected to the fan controller (they often have more ports than mainboard manufacturers use).
There might be a fan1_div, this is somehow related to how the kernel reads the RPM, I don't know how it works.
temp1_input interfaces can appeare too, if some of the chips have temperature sensors located somewhere. I *think* lm_sensors places the core temperatures it reads from CPU (the coretemp-isa-000X thingies) in one of the hwmon-folders too.
There might be interfaces for different fans in the same hwmon folder, i.e. pwm2_enable, pwm2, fan2_input, etc., all interfaces with the same index belong to the same physical fan connector, and all in the same hwmonN are managed by the same IC on your mainboard.
Warning: These interfaces, if they work, control the fans directly without any kind of security measure. If you shut some essential fan down, it will stay off until you reboot your CPU shuts down.
(If you see something likein0_alarm, in0_input, in0_max, etc. it's a voltage monitoring chip.)
If one of those interfaces can do something, OS-level fan control does work, if none of those folders contain a working pwm interface, fan control seems to be unavailable.
Sometimes there is an option in the BIOS to enable it, and for some BIOSs software-side fan control only works if dynamic fan control is disabled in the BIOS and fan speed is set to a static value - or vice versa.
I don't know what you are using to control fan speed, there are many applications that use these interfaces, i.e. GNOME or KDE power managers, so I'm not sure what is happening:
IF: Windows 7 enables OS-level fan control and sets it the RPM to those you observed and you have nothing that provides fan control in Arch and so fan control stays at BIOS-level, which might also read out a different sensor / the same sensor differently or it might be more conservative in setting fan speeds altogether;
OR: You have something that provides fan control installed in Arch and it reads out a the wrong value supplied by lm_sensors and thus sets a higher fan speed.
Anyway, possible solutions I can think of:
Find out if you have some kind of fan control software and what it does. For example, I use the fancontrol daemon, I can't help you if you use something else.
The wiki mentions how to assign a fan speed to a certain temperature sensors. You might assign it to a different one. For example, there are no sensor chips on the mainboard of my EEE (no temp1 etc.) so I assigned the fan speed to the temperature reported by the BIOS via ACPI (those are in /sys/class/thermal, also no "device" subfolder on EEEs):
FCTEMPS=/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1=/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
You could also change the MINTEMP/MAXTEMP values to one higher than those you actually want to compensate for the effect of lm_sensors reporting temperatures that are too high.
It is currently not possible for a mortal user to change the coretemps lm_sensors reads, see this post, last paragraph.
There is a configuration file, /etc/sensors3.conf, you can change sensor names and adjust offsets here, but only for the monitoring chips and their sensors that are on the mainboard.

[solved]Manually control the fan speed[/solved]

To enable fan control, the module parameter fan_control=1 must be given to thinkpad-acpi.
For example, in ArchLinux kernel 3.6.10, add the following to /etc/modules-load.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf: options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
Having done so, reboot and you can use the following commands to control fan speed:
# echo level 0 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (fan off)
# echo level 2 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (low speed)
# echo level 4 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (medium speed)
# echo level 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (maximum speed)
# echo level auto > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (automatic - default)
# echo level disengaged > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan (disengaged)
If you receive a PERMISSION DENIED error you can use the following command syntax instead as a work-around:
# echo level 0 | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan ##(fan off)
# echo level 2 | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan ##(low speed)
# echo level 4 | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan ##(medium speed)
# echo level 7 | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan ##(maximum speed)
# echo level auto | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan ##(automatic - default)
# echo level disengaged | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan ##(disengaged)

Fan speed up after 10.4.3 update

Today, I applied the 10.4.3 combo update to my iMac. After reboot, the fan came on full speed, and has stayed there ever since. I tried an archive and install of 10.4, and applied all updates. I also tried reseting PRAM, as well as the Open Firmware resets. No joy. The fan is still full blast. Any ideas or suggestions? I'm stumped.

it's all right here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733
it says in there that the SMUs control fan speeds. I hope that fixes it for you

Controlling fans with Core Center?

I feel such a fool, but I can't see any way of controlling fan speeds with MSI's Core Center?
The centre panel listss the CPU/NB temperature and fan speeds... if I click on the red arrow to the side of that, the extra panel that slides out simply gives me options on when the alarms should sound, based on either temperature or fan speed.
Am I meant to increase the fan speed by raising the minimum fan speed alarm threshold? Not only is that a daft way of doing it, but it doesn't seem to have any effect...?

Quote from: petsoukos on 25-March-06, 21:16:41
Why isn't there a fan control for the NB Fan? The stupid thing runs at 7000rpm (according to CoreCenter) I need to control it coz not only it makes so much noise but it is also damaged making the noise 10 times louder and I have no time to RMA the board.
Please....I need to control it manually or I'm going to shut it down completely (ripping the freakin thing of the board).......
While I dunno about your mbrd, the NB fans on a couple of MSI mbrds I've played with are just not really speed controllable. With Speedfan, I can reduce the speed but below 90% or so, the fan starts to stall and then oscillates between nearly stopped and its max speed. I have mine, on a K8N Neo2 Plat set to max speed of 95% and min of 90%, which reduces the noise a touch.
If it's getting noisy and looking like failing, email MSI tech support and tell 'em it's failing and you're experiencing hangs and reboots. I had two mbrds I reported like this, which were behaving badly, and they sent me 3 new heatsink/fans. Those new fans run a bit slower, max of ~6Krpm, and are smoother running. If you do this, it's a good idea to register the mbrd with them and then in your email, give the serial no and your postal address. I had my new fans in a week or so, with no hassle or telephone calls at all.

A1212 Macbook Pro Cooling Fan Speed / SMC / Service Battery

Background:
I've owned my A1212 Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo since launch (Thanksgiving 2006 I believe). For some time now the temperature has been quite warm - more recently my right cooling fan has intermittently sounded like a jet engine and failed to speed beyond 1,500-2,000 rpm intermittently.
1. I ordered the correct cooling fan for A1212 right and replaced.
2. When I rebooted Macbook Pro here is what I see for temps in hardware monitor
AMBIENT TEMP 31C/88F
CPU A 44C 111F
CPU CORE 1:36C/97F
CPU CORE 2:39C/100F
"SMART DISK" — [DOES THIS MEAN THERE IS A SENSOR THAT IS NOT REGISTERING]
The hottest temp recorded is 109F/ CPU A temperature diode
The new cooling fan is majorly cooling the mac much better than prior fan.
3. I can't find ANY way to stop the mac from running both cooling fans at 6,000rpm
a) reset SMC (tried holding down power button 20 seconds after disconnecting battery
b) reboot
c) remove smcfancontrol
d) use smcfancontrol
e) monitor with temp monitor, hardware monitor, istat pro
f) no runaway processes - not even hot
4) I notice ( this was also showing up before install of new fan) in my battery icon it indicates "Service Battery" - while I do have a 4 yr old computer there was a recall on batteries so this battery is maybe 3 yrs old and I usually use computer plugged in.
I do not have my snow leopard boot dvd readily available to run hardware test on sensors, however techtool pro does not report any issues. I have not found any terminal commands to force the fan speed down nor any indication I have any apps that are accelerating it.
It appears that my fan speeds are accelerating shortly after power up - before OS X is even loaded completely - and never slow to normal speed except when mac is asleep.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONNECT THE FAN INVERTED (THE TWO PINS) MESSING UP ABILITY TO CONTROL FAN SPEED?
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I INADVERTENTLY BROKE SOME SENSOR "SMART"?
I am thinking more and more that this is hardware related like a sensor. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, while I don't have a Jet engine I have a very noisy mac

Hi N,
SMART reports on a number of checks on the HD. I don't believe that's any part of the current issue.
I agree with you that my first inclination is toward a sensor issue; by default, if the sensor's are not reporting properly, the fans run full speed/6000RMP.
