Fan controll in windows 7

hello I am wondering if anyone has found a fan control program for windows 7 that is like smcfancontrol i already know about restarting with smc still running and two other programs that i forget the names of that dont work. it would be greatly appreciated if you could point me in the right direction thank you!

Fan control in Windows

Hi All,
I've recently installed Windows 8.1 on my Retina Macbook Pro 13". Performance is great overall, however I have one problem:
Fan control under Windows is terrible... The fans stay low as with Mavericks, but when the CPU gets hotter, they (well it is only one actually) don't really ramp up. My CPU reached 88 degrees celsius just installing some software...
This worries me, so I got Lubbo Fan control, which works ok and redid the fan management. However, it can only set the fan to 6000rpm not the max of 6200!!!
With this in mind, I cannot play games running windows since the cooling will be insufficient. In OSX i play Borderlands 2 maxed out, with rather high temps, but stable and no downclocking where the fan runs a t max 6200 rpm.
Thank you guys for any tips you have on this issue, it is very much appreciated.
PS: Overall, Intel Iris seems to be very heat problematic when gaming. Running the i7 at max for half an hour for transcoding video in OSX will leave the fan at a stable below 5000 rpm speed. However, when gaming, where the CPU i not nearly half used, the machine gets hot and maxes fan speed.

No, it seems like the built-in thermal protection manages to reduce the temperature quickly enough. I've downloaded an application named MacFan, which you can manually set the fan speed.

Fan control out of control in Windows 7 (x64)

Hi,
Anyone noticed that the fan control is not working correctly when running Windows 7 (x64) in Boot Camp? Under heavy load (100%) on both cpu cores, the thermal protection circuit actually kicks in due to the CPU cores reaching temperatures of 104 degrees (Celcius).

User-developed Fan Control for the S10(e)

Hello and welcome.
When you've searched the internet and found this thread, it's possible that you are an owner of a Lenovo Ideapad S10 or S10e which has a little problem with the behaviour and/or the noise of the fan. In this post you will get all the informations you need to handle this problem for yourself. It should also be the same on every S9/S9e.
Just a few comments before we begin:
This is not an official support or solution by Lenovo.
We are just normal users as you are, but we get rid of the fan and wanted to find a way to handle it. So if you want to try anything of the methods described here you have to know that you'll do all this only at your own risk. We are not responsible for any damages of your device. You should only use these methods if you know what you are doing.
Please note that this thread is only for discussing, improving, trouble shooting and perhaps extending the fan control utilities. Any general complaints about the fan problem itself should be placed in the original thread right here: http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=IdeaPad_Netbook&thread.id=795. It already has 80+ pages (the link goes to the first page) and it is better to exclude all the fan control stuff because there it's very difficult to keep an overview.
Here you may post all of your questions, ideas/brainstorming, concerns, thanks and so on and you are really invited to participate and be an active member.
In this first part of this post I'm going to summarize all information about using a fan control utility. For any newbie it will be enough to read this post to get all necessary information. The second part does the same for developement of fan control utilities as we still have no known or working fan control utility for Linux, Mac OS X and other OSs I've forgotten - for now.
For getting started you need a S10 or S10e with an up-to-date BIOS. For the S10 it's the 90 67, for the S10e the 66.
The battery issue
Under very specific circumstances - that we haven't figured out yet - it might happen that your Lenovo S9/10(e) no longer detects the battery while using S10FanControl or S10Fan. It might occur after 2 minutes, it might occur after 2 months, it might never occur. It does not occur using Notebook Hardware Control.
It can be solved by removing the battery, waiting 10 seconds and put it back in. Then the battery is re-initialized and the detection works again.
S10FanControl - Windows
The first utility is S10FanControl created by user dresslerc. The current version is 1.0.0.1, available here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yd5xmnrnijf/S10FanCtrl1.0.0.1.zip. After you've downloaded it you just have to extract it and start the .EXE in the "Release" folder. Here are the notes and the description dresslerc posted right here:
Everyone,
I've uploaded a version which everyone can use to test with. Remember this is still a TEST version although I think it works for the most part. It should work both on the S10/S10e.
Please install the .NET Framework 2.0 or later first.
Then click here to download the exe: http://www.mediafire.com/?jlg2enkjdxn
Once downloaded, extract the files and hit hte S10FanCtrl.Exe. Once this program launches you should be able to control the fan. Keep in mind that if you lower the fan speed then it'll take upto 30 seconds before the S10 registers the change, so be patient.
I've only tested this on the latest BIOS 59. I am sure it will work on the 57 as well but the individual speeds might not work properly on that version. Please try it out and report back.
The only issue that I heard so far is that occasionally the fan will kick in regardless if in Manual/Smart Mode. Also the temp it shows may not be accurate. If you find any other issues please let me know what they are so I can attempt to fix them.
Once we have all the kinks worked out then I will release the source.
Heres a quick Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PKl70ZgmFg
REMEMBER: USE PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THIS PROGRAM MIGHT CAUSE.
Application Use:
BIOS Controlled - Fan is controlled by the BIOS
Smart Mode - Fan is controlled based on the conifguration in the options. You can set the threshold here at what temp you want the fan to kick in...
Manual - Fan is controlled manually by the slider.
If you want to have the program startup automatically, then place a shortcut of the app in the PROGRAM FILES -> STARTUP folder. Then you may want to go to the options and make the application minimize at startup.
Edit:
It seems there are some issues with the app and the S10e or previous BIOS versions. Will post a fix asap.
The source code for S10FanControl is available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=7a3fb99d33817c08c2b435915e8821d7e04e75f6e8ebb871, written in Visual Basic .NET 2008.
S10Fan - Windows
The second utility is a tool written by user slash:
Hi guys,
Well it looks like Lenovo dropped this matter after all. Anyway, I have here another fan controller to add to the bunch. I have been using it for some time now without any problems. It is for both S10 and S10e.
What the program does is basically the same as others. The S10's fan speed is controlled according to the ACPI thermal zone temperature. By over writing the values which resides at offset 50h of the EC register at an appropriate timing, the ACPI thermal zone temperature is over ridden. The program is written in C and uses WinIo created by Sysinternals. The GUI version is available now.
It should be noted that the fan speed temperature thresholds differs with BIOS version. For 14CN67WW and 14CW90WW the fan changes speed at temperatures 60c, 65c, 70c, and 80c. Furthermore, the BIOS will automatically shutdown the S10 if the temperature reaches 90c.
The program has a fail safe mechanism that automatically disables itself if the actual ACPI thermal zone temperature goes above 85c. This allows the BIOS to regain control and the fan will work as intended by Lenovo. If the temperature drops below 85c the program will take over control again.
To run the program, you will need administrative privileges.
Known working BIOS versions: 14cn58ww, 14cn60ww, 14cn67ww, 14cn90ww
The program will work with any BIOS version as long as the BIOS uses the 50h EC register readouts to control the fan.
build 2009.05.24
Higher priorities for EC commands.
Usage: The program will run in the system tray. Double click or right click and use the menu to open the program. To determine the BIOS temperature thresholds, use the 'Setup' button. To run at boot time, place a short cut in the startup folder.

Notebook Hardware Control - Windows
The third utility is a profile for Notebook Hardware Control. I've adapted it from a profile for the Lenovo N500 which I've found here: http://nhc.yourcopy.de/overview/. With the manual for creating the profiles that can be found here: http://www.notebook-treff.de/board/database/hilfsprogramme-f%C3%BCr-nhc/92-how-to-create-an-acpi-fil... I was able to change the ACPI commands to work on the S10(e).
Installation and setup is divided in two steps. The program Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) is available at http://www.pbus-167.com/. Install the program, but do not start it for now. Then you need my NHCConfig utility, available here: http://forum.eeepcnews.de/download/file.php?id=1476. It detects your model number and BIOS-version via WMI and writes a proper S10(e) profile to the NHC acpi directory. The GUI is German if you have a German Windows and English if not. Additional languages can be added.
After you've extracted the ZIP-file you have to start the nhcc.exe (requires .NET Framework 2.0). At first a message appears that you use the program at your own risk. Then you can choose if you want to apply your own settings (experts) or if you just want the program to run with my defaults (newbies). In the settings window you can see your system details on the left, you can set up your thresholds in the middle and you can set the fan speed you want on the right. Then click on execute.
Now start NHC. Go to the "Settings" tab and click on "Show all NHC options and settings". Then a few more tabs appear. Go to the "ACPI" tab and check if the "ACPI Control System" is running (if everything works, the message "ACPI Control System running" will appear, otherwise it says "ACPI control system is not yet configured for this system"). Now click on "Show ACPI Control System details".
Here you can change the temperature values the fan control depends on (the settings from NHCC are the default values). On the bottom of the window you can see the "Current CPU temperature". That is the value you have to deal with. In general it has a value of around 60°C. In the middle you can see four user editable temperature values. You can leave the values as they are if everything works. The on/off values are responsible for the temperatures at which the fan starts running and stops again after cooling the device. The level values are responsible for the fan speed, for example you can set the off_level higher to let the fan run all the time at the lowest level, if the values do not fit for your device or whatever.
You can switch between NHC and BIOS control by disabling or enabling the "ACPI Control System" or by closing NHC.
Q:
A:
With every utility it is possible that it takes some time until you see an effect after you've started the program. Any failure of the programs should be no big problem because the only thing that should happen is that the BIOS controls the fan. Another issue that might occur due to the way the fan is controlled is that the fan may start running for a very short time and it looks like the fan control has lost control. The fan should stop immediately or at least after a few seconds.
Keep in mind that running the S10(e) with a fan control means that the S10(e) has to deal with higher temperatures. That could mean that the device will not last for 10 years but only 9 years (who uses a netbook so long...?). In every case you need a tool for monitoring your cpu temperature. We know that especially Core Temp 0.99.5 and Real Temp 3.00 do a very good job. That is important because the temperature values you need to set up the fan control are different from the values reported by the cpu sensor, they are between 15°C and 20°C higher. A normal temperature reported by the monitoring should be around 40°C, with the NHC default values the fan starts running at 52°C and stops at 38°C.

END using fan control
BEGINNING developing fan control
Controlling the S10(e)'s fan is a litte bit difficult because it looks like there is no way to control it directly. But it is possible to manipulate the temperature the BIOS fan control depends on. As long as the built-in fan control thinks that the cpu is cool enough the fan stays off. And that is exactly the point where we can attack.
The fan control depends on a field called RTMP in the memory of the embedded controller. It can be accessed via "_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ERAM", the offset of RTMP is 0x50 (hex) or 80 (dec). It is a direct I/O read/write. The complete NHC command for reading the value is: ACPI.FIELD.ReadByOffset("_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ERAM", ref value, 0x50, 8) with "value" as the variable which gets the value.
What program logic do you need? You need a timer or something else that conducts an always-refresh cycle. It sounds very easy: You read the value, manipulate it and write it back. And it is that easy, you just have to keep some things in mind.
This refresh has to be done very often. The procedure must be very thin and quick. Also the bus that is used to communicate with the EC is a problem, but since the S10e BIOS 66 it became a minor problem for me because it looks like the built-in fan control now depends on some kind of average value over the last few seconds and it doesn't really matter if one write-cycle is failing.
The read-event must be placed before the write-event. Otherwise you just read your manipulated value. The field is filled by the system regularly, so you just have to test if the read_value is different from the written_value, then you know that the field was filled with a "fresh" value. Like "if read_temperatue <> written_temperature then real_cpu_temperature = read_temperature else do nothing".
About the values you have to write back... you will have to test and play a bit. My experience is that you can select three fan levels, starting at 59°, 62° and 70° - at least with the NHC profile and my S10e it's like that. It's some trial 'n' error. My fan stays off at < 59°, but you should select a very low value for fan_off like 30°. In my opinion it switches off much faster the lower the written value is. But it's just a feeling, I haven't measured it.

Great opening post Carsten!
The latest bios:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-71252 (BIOS 66)
The FSB can be reduced from 133MHz to 100MHz using SetFSB, this also reduces the heat:
http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/
clockgen = SLG8SP513V
If you add a shortcut to the startup folder the program will start at startup. Under properties you can change the target to:
"C:\Program Files\SetFSB\setfsb.exe" -s100 -b1 -cg[SLG8SP513V] -w20
So it starts with a FSB of 100Mhz, in the background, with the right clock generator, after 20 seconds.

Lenovo S10-3 Fan Control (Linux) and overheating

Good day to everyone.
Let me describe the situation. My Lenovo S10-3 is always hot (even in idle) and uses internal fan very often. It irritates very much because fan is noisy (service found no problem).
Sensors: acpi-tz ~60C, core ~50C (idle).
But even fan is disabled (connector is pulled out from motherboard) temperature becomes not much higher --- approx 65-70C.
Now, the question: is there any way to override BIOS fan control values? (e.g. 55C="Fan on" to 60C="Fan On")
For the S10 series there is program named "Fan Control", but it doesn't work on S10-3 and this program is for MS Windows only. Can anyone give comprehensive ansver/guide how to control fan speed (or on/off temperature values) using native linux tools or special program? It might be very useful for others who experiences the same problem. Thanks.

The heatsink is not connected to the surface of CPU and GPU and this is why you said that disabling the fan doesn't make any difference in the temperature. There are two pieces of thermal pad on the CPU and GPU.They are actually unusable. Remove them. Put thermal paste on the surface of CPU and GPU and heatsink and then put a piece of copper on CPU and GPU. This will make connection between heatsink and surface of CPU. This will make the fan usefull . Do this at your own risk (There is no risk. But use suitable pieces of copper is very important.) Using google will help you find about this issue

Fan control in notebooks

Hi all,
I am using Arch Linux since a few months, right after purchasing my new laptop, a Dell Precision M3800. Anyway I am a linux user since many years. I like very much the control that arch give to the user in terms of configuration possibility. My question is relate to fan control in notebooks. Even though I noticed this issue in my laptop now, I think similar observation holds also for other notebooks and linux distros. For fan control I use the fancontrol utility. Once properly configured, there is a min temperature value below which the cpu fan is off (default is 20 °C, I increased up to 45 °C) and a max temperature value (default is 55 °C and I placed 65 °C) above which the fan is running at full speed. The reason for the temperature limit changes is to emulate windows behavior in terms of noise and thermal handling. With a room temperature in the order of 25 °C, I get right after login a cpu temperature of about 35 °C. Then the temperature increases even in idle conditions up to the limit of 45 °C and then it is stabilized by the cpu fan. Chaning the temperature between 35 °C and 45 °C simply changes the time interval I have to wait until the cpu fan switches on and cpu temperature stabilizes with low load. The point is the the stable thermal situation produces a continuous switching of the fan state, let's say the fan is on for a few seconds every minute. The reason is that the fan switches off right after the cpu temperature falls below the value for which it turns on. Wouldn't be better to define two different temperatures for switching on and off? Let's say, fan on when temperature reaches 45 °C and off when it falls below 40 °C. Is there a way to do that with fancontrol or same other tool?
Thank you in advance.
Bye,
Luca

OP, what you're describing is called (at least in HVAC circles) hysteresis. You may be able to find some fan control scripts that support it (googling fan control + hysteresis), or just write one yourself. You can also control this behavior to some extent by adjusting fancontrol's polling behavior (the "INTERVAL" setting), but that has risks.
I think implementing hysteresis is not a particularly useful endeavor because PC temperatures can change 30 degrees or more in a few seconds when under load, which is completely unlike, say, a home thermostat where temp changes are much more gradual over time. Realistically, you should expect to always be running at least the CPU fan at some speed, and set your "turn off" temperature for it to room temperature. You can set different temperature set points for different fans, so you can have the CPU fan turning off at a lower temp, but have other fans off until the temp gets much higher.

No fans working withouth Lubbo's fan control

Hi.
I recently installed on a Boot Camp Partition, Windows 7.
I installed correctly all the drivers using my iMac installation CD, in windows. However i can't get the fans working, if i don't use Lubbo's Fan Control software: this is the only way to get them working.
But this software if for the macbooks, so i can't get the fans work properly.
My iMac is a 2011 model, if you need to know
Can someone help, getting my fans working correctly on Boot Camp?
Thanks to everyone.

Apple has a big weakness and this has always been an issue.
I used InputRemapper for years also.
Windows on Mac is less than 100%, enough so that while I still (right now) running 7 on Mac Pro, I ended up building a couple PCs too.
For a long time - over a year - my hope was to get SpeedFan to work, but that never happened.

Extended fan control v.1.2

Can anyone tell me why this version of fan control does not detect sensors on the GPU despite having an apparent facility to do so? The temp for the GPU always reads zero degrees, which suggests it's not picking it up. As my macbook pro overheats when the capture window is open and working, I presume a lot of the heat is being generated by the GPU, so it would be useful to monitor and fan-control it.

Not all MBP models are supported. You'd better check with the maker of EFC:
http://www.derman.com/Download/Special/MBpFanControl.html
But he'll probably tell you to get the source code and do the necessary modifications yourself.

Is anyone using SMC fan control on their late 2009 iMacs?

I am very concerned about the heat from my iMac.
I have a late 2009 27 inch model.
I noticed a lot of posts of GPU and HD failures.
I bought this iMac used through a certified Apple reseller and I can't afford any problems with this for awhile.
Computer components do not Ike heat.
And despite everything I have been reading in this forum aluminum can retain heat. Not simply vent all of it away from the back casing.
Excessive heat is what shortens the life span of any components In a computer.
Heat in a computer is the enemy!
I do not care what I am getting for temp readings from my iMac.
It's very, very warm and I don't like it and feel it will cause issues in the near future.
I just bought this iMac three months ago and, at least for awhile due to personal health issues, I can't afford to repair a potential failure that might occur in the near future.
I posted a similar thread not long ago but only got one response I was not happy or confident with.
I want to know if anyone is running SMC Fan Controls on late 2009 iMac models and if it has helped and whether anyone had issues with it.
I want my iMac to run cooler than it does now.
I am in a living situation where I have limited means to cool the place I live. The room I am using has no air conditioning only a large ceiling fan and I am running a floor fan. I have a small fan blowing air behind the iMac's case to help with cooling it, also.
Room temps can get into the high 80's.
Also, if you are running SMC Fan Control on a 2009 iMac, could you give an idea what RPM setting you are using for the various fans.
I am a freelance graphic designer, Illustrator, and audio/video guy. Plus I have doing 3D CGI model work for the last few years. I run Photoshop. Final Cut and Blender quite often.
Any real help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!
ThanX.

Even if I had one, I wouldn't run SMC Fan Control. Apple has not released the limits of temperature for any of its Mac model interiors. As such any temperature management is purely guesswork. If you are having serious trouble maintaining an enivoronment suitable for computers, you probably should consider at minimum a window air conditioner unit. http://www.apple.com/imac/specs.html are very particular about the outside environment. If that is not able to be maintained, you seriously need to consider a different working environment.

MEGA 865 fan control problems after suspend/hibernate.

I'm seeing the CPU fan control problems, and it's REALLY ANNOYING, as it means I have to leave the machine on all the time. Specifically, after suspending or hibernating the machine, on wakeup the CPU fan goes to full speed and STAYS THERE until I reboot.
This is on a CLEAN INSTALL of Windows XP.
Is there going to be a fix for this from MSI soon? Because it's really ruining the experience of using the MEGA.

Hi guys,
I have builded a Mega 651 attaching a Celeron 2.4 Ghz.
I installed the cooler but I got really scared when I realised that the fan run for 2 secs and then stopped.
Is this normal?
If yes then i am assuming that the voltage of the fan is controlled by a thermal sensor, meaning that the fan goes on when the temperature reaches a certain limit.
Can the threshold temperature be controlled from bios so I can set it to minimum possible?
thanks in advance

This fan i have installed is running fine but i thk it runs full speed all the time and that makes a lot of noise - not needed.
Thx for any advice/tip/hint

40 °C is fine. The minimum fan speed can be set is a % of the full capacity.
Start with 12.5% and if the fan needs to adjusts it's fan speed too often and it get's annoying you can raise it to 25% or more.

Fan control on Tecra 8000

Hello,
I'm worried about the working of the cooling fan, it starts to blow at the start of the system for a moment and when recharging the battery after that it only starts to blow at 82 degrees celcius!!! I would be more confident if it starts to blow at 50 degrees, is there a way to manage this?
I installed the latest bios 9.30 trad en tried serveral operating systems, like win 98se, win 2000 en win xp, none of them made a difference for the working of the coolingfan. I also tried the power utilities given by Toshiba, they even made the cpu mad by working at 100% cpu power.
Thanks for support, Rick

I found the sollution after a few days searching on the internet, I found i program made by someone for the Toshiba machines running linux, but he made also a fan control program for Windows. It needs the TVALD software from Toshiba to get installed.
My machine is running at a max of 50 degrees celsius right now and i'm very confident, I even can put the laptop on my legs ;)

MSI GT70-0NC BIOS UNLOCK Request for Fan Control

Hello Svet,
I bought my GT70 0NC (Model MS-1762) in the first days of June 2012. Last year my Geforce 675 GTX died and since then it runs with onboard graphics. Since the GT70 runs without a GFX and its fan/cooler, the CPU fan is working full throttle which means it is very loud. I don't plan to buy a new MXM card since they are too expensive and I'd like to save my money for a future computer.
My point: I need unlocked controls of my BIOS to get my annoying main fan down to its actual (useful) rotation speed. As far as I read in these forums it is possible via setting it to onboard as main graphic card or something like that.
Please can you mod me a (maybe newer or newest) BIOS version for this problem? If possible I'd be glad if you leave some instructions what to avoid etc. with it.
BIOS Version: E1762IMS.108 (build date 03/29/2012)
EC Version: 1762EMS1 Ver4.05 (build date 04/03/2012)
The Notebook came with pre-installed Windows 7, but today I use Windows 8.1 on a later bought SSD (the HDD with the recovery sections was built out last year).
I hope, these changings are not a problem.
After you give your go, I will send you a Donation Confirmation Code. (In case please give me further information how much etc.)
Thanks and best regards.

yes can be done, with clarify that BIOS can't provide a FAN control [bios can't control the FAN at all]
but yes it can help your FAN to calm down to its normal operation like was originally when your nvidia card was working

Z77A-GD65 and fan controls

I'm considering buying MSI Z77A-GD65. It has the better Realktek audio chip and Intel LAN chip. But I need to know what kind of fan controls it has:
1. What kind of fan headers it has? (PWM, voltage controlled, how many?)
2. What BIOS settings it has for fans? Ie. What is the minimum duty cycle for manual PWM fan control? What other settings and modes?
3. Are there any plans to improve the BIOS fan controls in later BIOS updates?
This is essential thing for a silent computer. If MSI is good enough, I'll get it. Otherwise I have to consider Intel DZ77BH-55K.
PS. I'm only interested in BIOS settings, not possible Windows software settings. I use both Windows and Linux so everything must be controlled from BIOS.

Hi
I just bought that exact board for the same reasons you are considering it. The only Z77 board in that price range with both Intel nic and the better realtek Audio chip
The only thing this board is lacking is exactly fan control. But i knew this before i bought board. You have the standard CPU fan Auto setting, but that's pretty much it. (at least what i have found)
I invested a few extra euros in Silent case fans. For CPU i use the Corsair H80 that has its own fan control anyway.
So i ended up with a relatively silent PC anyway.
The board is brilliant for OC, and in general a very good board.
