![]() ![]() Laptops often ship with slower processors than their desktop counterparts to begin with, and thermal throttling can further reduce clock speeds and other factors until your PC starts to slow down. Naturally, blowing hot air out of a PC does a lot to keep all of the internals cool, ensuring it doesn't become an oven for your internals.Īn optimized profile is particularly important when it comes to CPU fan control, especially in laptops. If you have a low fan speed in Windows 10, it can lead to thermal throttling as soon as the device comes under load. As a result, manual fan speed control is often a necessity to maximize performance or silence, with SpeedFan the widely accepted fan controller to achieve that goal.Ī device with high-spec internals but poor cooling may as well just ship with worse hardware. How does one control all this reliably and correctly?Īs you can guess I am really very new to all this Linux stuff.All too often, the fan profiles that PCs and laptop ship with fit into two categories: they sound like a vacuum cleaner or they're so quiet that your CPU is essentially on fire. ![]() I have to say that in Win XP, the software really does shut all the machine down to really quiet when idle - even the fans! I have tried lm_sensors, but it cannot detect any K10 based sensors it seems - 'driver to be written' is the msg - when in detect mode. ![]() However, the fan speed remains at full speed all the time, despite the MHz reductions on the cores. I have 'cpufreqd' and the utils all loaded, including and applet and it seems that Ubuntu is reducing the MHz on my core(s) it seems all of them i hope! I believe, the cores' MHz are being affected, but not the fan(s). Please, is there anyone who has a good degree of knowledge to resolve getting the 'cool and quiet' feature working so it does all that it should properly?
