CPU fan control

Dear experts, again for your help. I can not find solutions for Linux and of course it is desirable to have a OpenSuse to control the CPU fan on asus p5q se2, well or similar to this mother board from asus. Fun CPU idle noise well, nothing in the process of loading.

The windows have utility Asus AiSuite which admirably with his work, but on Linux at the office. Asus site did not find anything you want. In the BIOS set to control FUN silent, took off a little steam, but was now howling that even more annoying.

If anyone experienced or knows a solution help me, please.

Once again, mother Asus P5Q SE2, buzzing fan CPU, the axis of OpenSuse 11.4 i586

ps. Please forgive Google for the English.

Install sensors packages and run sensors-detect in a terminal as root.

In general, the CPU cooler FAN speed is controlled by the BIOS for the purpose to cool the CPU. The faster the CPU works, the higher the speed of the fan. It is possible to control the CPU speed and if reduced, reduce the speed the fan runs. Please look here for one solution:

YaST Power Management - Control Your CPU Energy Usage How To & FAQ - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

In addition, a new kernel startup option can be added to your normal openSUSE startup line in the grub menu.lst file as the option pcie_aspm=force and talked about here in message #8.

Possible Power Management regressions in recent Linux kernels ?

If you were to put both of these to work, you could slow your CPU speed and over energy usage which should reduce heat and thus reduce fan noise.

Thank You,

Thank you very much for your answers.

So, set yast2-power.
Then I went to System \ System Services-run level. Found a pm-profiler and when trying to enable writes to start the pm-profiler and add it to runlevels 2,3,5 the following services should be included and are launched - haldaemon. If you click continue, then pm-profiler principle the turn, but it turns out that the error due to haldaemon.
So the actual question: how to enable this haldaemon? Here in the services it is not in Yast and I do not see it. In Google’s all very spread out about haldaemon and I have not found a clear indication where this sign is turned on.

Thank you very much for your answers.

Normally you just say next when the added services are mentioned and are added for you. A restart of the PC might be in order. If then you can go into YaST Power Management, the services were started for you as mentioned.

Thank You,

Yes, thank you **jdmcdaniel3 **. Launched pm-profiler, reboot and install in YaST Power Management configuration Balanced Low Latency Computing rebooted but did not help, then set Powersaving but also did not effect.

I was advised
" man fancontrol

  • Fancontrol - automated software based fan speed regulation
    man sensors
    -sensors - print sensors information
    man pwmconfig
    -pwmconfig - tests the PWM outputs of sensors and configures fancontrol "
    but it is for me so far is not clear how they regulate

In the general fan speed a little abated, though of course to achieve a result as a means to windows Asus AiSuit I still did not work. I thought that somewhere already have a ready solution for a Asus to OpenSuse. It is a pity that he does not offer Asus utilities under linux.

Ps. I have already ordered a new fan on the CPU. While this is certainly not rishit root of the problem.
Once again thank you very much for your answers. Good luck!
