fan control

Hi, is it possible to read sensor values (fan speed, temperature) from nct6792 chipset in FreeBSD? I'd like to watch the fan speed and send an alarm e-mail when the fan fails. Linux has a driver for it and can show values: # sensors coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +27.0°C...

Hi, Reading some threads it seems that it is difficult to control the fans of a desktop. More specific I mean a desktop with a strong graphical card and a lot of extra fans to cool the CPU and the complete desktop. If the manufacturet of the desktop did not built software for FreeBSD, it...

Hi, I am a new user trying to make FreeBSD my daily driver. Apparently, the only thing is now stopping me to use it as daily driver is unable to control the fan. I am using Gigabyte Aero 10th Gen Intel Core i7 with NVIDIA GTX 1660Ti card. I was surprised when everything was working fine out of...

Recently I revived my Sun Blade 1000 workstation. It still runs FreeBSD 8.2 from 2011: tingo@blade1k$ uname -a FreeBSD blade1k.kg4.no 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #0: Sun Aug 21 23:15:09 CEST 2011 root@blade1k.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC sparc64 If I have a working CD-burner I...

On a FreeBSD 12.1 install (powerd enabled and running), the CPU fan speed is at 100% even though top is indicating the system is 100% idle. If I do sysctl -a | grep cpu, I see the CPU frequency is the lowest (800MHz). As for the cx_usage, I see 100% 0% 0% on both cores. The CPU heat sink...

Hello, on a old Lenovo T520 I noticed that to set the CPU fan to .. sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan=0 sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_level=7 .. results into an RPM of ca. 3300 where as the fan max is in the 5500+ area. In Windows with tpfancontrol the max rpm's can be set. I will test this issue with...
