Fans Monitoring

$ isw -r 16Q4EMS1

[name@hostname ~]$ isw -r 16Q4EMS1
-----------CPU-----------        -----------GPU-----------
┌─Temp─┬─Fan Speed──────┐        ┌─Temp─┬─Fan Speed──────┐

[name@hostname ~]$ 

When i type isw -r 16Q4EMS1, it only outputs the above.

How can i get the fan and thermal info?

[Special-Niewbie]

Hi in meantime I will be waiting the answer in my post i jumped to your :)....

Try to get your info like that isw -r 0 or sudo isw -r 0 (to me it works only with administration rights as root)

Hi Special-Niewbie ~

isw -r 0

In my laptop, isw -r 0 doesn't work. Shell outputs ...

raise NoSectionError(section) from None configparser.NoSectionError: No section: '0'.

isw -h

And the isw -h says ...

-r R      ┬ show realtime CPU+GPU temp and fan speed from EC
          └ replace R with SECTION_NAME

Seems i have a low version of isw? I will update it, and then try again when I get time. Linux is so tiring.

Thank you for your comment. ~

I have solved everything to my laptop FINALLY........ So, if your laptop it's in the list should work without problems I have tried sudo isw -r without the 0 and it works the same. Because on the instruction I had read that if you add the 0 will be in loop updating the CPU and GPU info. Anyway if your laptop it's in the list, for sure you need to check if you place in the right place all the files and write the EC with new parameter....

[KoduckShih]

I updated the isw file in /usr/bin.

And isw -r ...

Aha ~

Thank you for the useful info you provided !

Why does it show 0% and 0RPM? I have a somewhat similar issue where my GPU fan RPM is reported correctly, but my CPU fan RPM is always 0RPM.

Because i set up the fan off at temperatures below 70 centigrade (both CPU GPU). Check out if you have also made the relevant settings ~

For future users I solved the same issue by running the following commands (note root).

1. Pull out header from dump (this is 16Q4EMS1 for GS65)

   sudo isw -cp MSI_ADDRESS_DEFAULT

2. Read and then enable the profile for 16Q4EMS1.

   sudo isw -r 16Q4EMS1
   systemctl enable isw@16Q4EMS1.service
