Hi all,

I need to control my CPU fan speed. I replaced my older fan with a new one, that is faster than the old one, and much louder!. Normally reducing the speed in relation to CPU temperature does the trick to reduce the noise.

I managed to install sensors and get sensors-detect to get the chip. I even got the KDE Ksensors running its "Dashboard". What could now be used to control the fan speed?

System is OpenSUSE 10.3 with a motherboard using Chip driver it87.

Why doesn't the machine control that? Are you sure you got a three wire fan?

Hi John, It is quite a old MB. I cannot set anything in the BIOS. It just shows the HW Monitoring like CPU and Fan speed and CPU temperatures. I can see the fan speeds for both the CPU and chassis in the BIOS. To be able to read the speed, a three wire fan has to be there, which I also checked when I built it in. Ksensors and sensors also see the speeds. TIA :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
