I know some people complain of noisy fans etc, this is not the same thing. This will ONLY be useful for your company AND your community. The motherboard control of fan speed is TOO CLUNKY and is making computers too hot. Just an allowance on choosing the parameter.

Please have one of your software engineers create a bios update that allows this ability immediately, within one week.Īgain - WITH DELL APPROVED SPECS, so the fan speeds wont be overclocked or underclocked. Otherwise you will be replacing more units.

It waits too long to cool down, Or doesn't even go into full fan speed!! You are shooting yourself in the foot Dell. My laptop is getting too hot, it is absolute NONSENSE to restrict this ability. I specifically need to increase my fan speed EARLIER (not exceeding dell specs) so that the computer will stay cool.

Can be a simple control utilizing Dell approved specs. Hardware Sensor Indicator, i8kctl and sensors output all show temperatures below what should trigger any fan activity. I've disabled BIOS fan control with smm,, i8kutils i8kmon uses wrong thresholds after resuming from suspend.I'm using i8kmon and still get fans spinning at higher RPMs triggered at lower temperatures than the thresholds I've configured. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on a Dell Precision M6600.

Does running i8kmon, thermald, and sensors simultaneously have known resource contention issues that cause fans to start spinning at lower temperatures than the thresholds I've configured? Is getting Dell laptop fan speeds and noise under control a solved issue?
