Hi,
I’m new in Linux, getting some basic knowledge and have installed OpenSUSE 11.3 to my desktop together with WIN XP.
The installation was ‘OK’ but I cant get rid of one problem related to my CPU FAN being 100% utilized and running full speed (which is not occurring when running windows).
I’m using PK5 ASUS motherboard. I googled some advices, added ‘acpi-enforce-resources=lax’ into my /boot/grub/menu.lst but these didnt help, the fan is still too loud.
I get following outputs for different commands which are related to the fancontrol mechanism (I suppose) …
pwmconfig:
*# pwmconfig revision 5770 (2009-09-16)
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.
We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.
