• [Linux@T460] Fan running non-stop (every now and then)

  I use Thinkfan on my T420, T440, X230 and X1 that run Linux. I linked the author's github page, but I believe it's available straight from the package manager in Ubuntu/Mint, so elementary might have it too. Source: 10 months ago

• Fans issue on my Lenovo Thinpad P16s AMD on Ubuntu

  I have found Thinkfan seems to be a good way to control Thinkpad fans on Ubuntu. Https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan. Source: over 1 year ago

• Black screen after suspend resume - gnome wayland

  Solved that with Thinkfan (https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan). Source: over 1 year ago

• The minimum viable fan control script

  The second solution on this page probably isn't reliable, because hwmon paths like `hwmon3` depend on module load order. That's likely the same reason for the `card*` workaround mentioned above. I am using thinkfan for this and it works really well: https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Problem building thinkfan from source: DSO missing from command line

  As thinkfan (https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan) doesn't come prepackaged with my Debian version I tried to build it myself. I installed all the libraries as instructed in the README file, and followed the build instructions. Running cmake works fine, but then when I run make I get the following linker error that I cannot solve no matter what I try (this is actually my first time building a project!):.

• Fan Control apps on Apple Silicone

  Maybe Macs Fan Control is close enough https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control. Source: 10 months ago

• Recommendation on how to make diablo 4 run cooler on M1 Max?

  You can make device cooler by manually turning on the fan and tinkering with the RPM of fan to make it run cooler when running games. Macboook by default does not turn on the Fans until its over 90 degree. You can use this free Fan control software. I have been using it and my mac runs cooler when gaming and such.

• CPU/system fans stopped on wake

  Install Macs Fan Control or TG Pro and see if you can get the fans to start up again after wake. Source: 11 months ago

• Must-have add-ons/accessories for MBP

  Get Macs fan control, the built in temperature for when the fans kicks in is very high. https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control. Source: 11 months ago

• Is it time for a new computer or are my issues fixable?

  Knowing how one might reproduce an issue doesn’t mean the cause is failing hardware. Apple Diagnostics may be able to tell you more, and Macs Fan Control can tell you if the fans are in working order and you can make them spin faster if you want. Source: about 1 year ago
