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 seems to be difficult to control the fans. That's a bit the impression I get when reading some threads in the forum. Some people try to find a way via special kernel parameters but then often it still fails or the fans don't go strong enough.
What I was wondering is , if what I describe above is the case, what is at the end then controlling the fans and what defines how strong they will run (without special software of the manufacturer)? The Bios?
Thanks in advance for your help.
