Add support for ASUS FX553VD

[Greifent]

Environment Latest version 3.3.0 System: Pop_OS! 19.10

Basic configuration If only temperatures were configured, add output of:

• sudo asus-fan-control get-temps

  45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80

• sudo asus-fan-control model-info

  name GL553VD
  address 1335
  temperatures 65 70 72 75 78 82 86 90
  tested true

Additional context It says GL553VD, which is supported, but on the back of the computer is written FX553VD, it is a single fan and i notice that even at 80+ degree it isn't as fast and loud as windows (the maximum fan speed should be more or less 6000 rpm)

The lsmod | grep coretemp output is coretemp 20480 0 The fgrep /etc/modules took a lot to run, after two minutes it is still running Edit: 1 hour and still executing

Ah, apologies I just gave you a wrong command. You could stop it, as it should be fgrep coretemp /etc/modules . Anyway, it seems that you have necessary module loaded. My last guest would be to run sensors-detect answering yes to all questions and following the instructions at the end.

Cheers,

That give coretemp written 4 times. Retried the sensors-detect but still the same

Sorry, but I am running out of ideas :(

Hello guys! I would like to contribute to the discussion... :smile: My sudo sensors output is:

iwlwifi-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +41.0°C  

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +46.0°C  (crit = +103.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0:  +47.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:        +45.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:        +47.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

pch_skylake-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +41.5°C

As you can see, I am missing some records entirely. In the BAT0-acpi-0 case it may be causes by replacing battery for an unofficial one. About the asus-isa-0000 and the whole RPM thing, as far as I remember correctly I have never been able to somehow detect the RPM of my laptop's fan... :disappointed: So @Greifent, maybe that's not any kind of your problem and you probably can't do anything with it... Maybe - I do not know.

BTW guys, fgrep /etc/modules command was not running, it was waiting for a user input to be processed and matched against the expression of /etc/modules for each line. Try yourself to run it and write hello/etc/modules/bye and press enter. Once you will have seen enough, press ctrl+d to send EOF. BTW, if you use fgrep coretemp /etc/modules, then it matches each line of /etc/modules file agains the coretemp expression.

@Greifent I appreciate that you use the backtick (`) for code/terminal sections but please use triple-backticks (```) for multiple lines of code/terminal. I have already edited your previous posts, but please keep that in mind for future comments. E.g.:

Here is my `gitpack list` output:

``` github.com/dominiksalvet/vhdldep 2.1.3 github.com/dominiksalvet/pathfinding-robots 1.0.0 ```

Thank you so much! :heart: :rocket:

Hello and thank you for the report!

... those are quite different from the GL553VD ones - 65 70 72 75 78 82 86 90. But well, I can increase your temperatures by 5 and decrease the GL553VD ones by the same amount and I will obtain the same temperatures, which I could add to asus-fan-control and declare your model to be tested... What do you think?

You will still be able to set your custom temperatures, only the default ones for both your, FX553VD, and GL553VD models will be 60 65 67 70 73 77 81 85.

BTW... @Greifent what do you think about my proposal mentioned in an earlier post? :thinking:

[Greifent]

Sorry but i didn't know how to do multiple line, thanks. Sorry but i didn't saw your post, anyway that could work.

[dominiksalvet]

All right, @Greifent your model has been officially added to asus-fan-control as a tested model in the latest release 3.5.0. Feel free to use GitPack to update asus-fan-control as stated below:

sudo gitpack install github.com/dominiksalvet/asus-fan-control

@Greifent Thank you so much for your patience and this contribution! :heart: Asus-fan-control now supports 12 different devices! :rocket: That is just incredible!! :tada:

I am closing this issue as it has been resolved but you guys feel free to continue in any further discussion if you want.

[Greifent]

Ok, thanks for your time and help

Sorry about reviving an old issue report but i have the same laptop and my temps are usually at 85-86 C at full load in games like Witcher 3 etc. Usually at 4900 rpm or so. ( i7 7700HQ , GTX 1050 4 gb mobile , NV driver 440.82)

Is the default ( current ) temps and fan speeds are good enough or do i really need this for proper fan load?

[Greifent]

No problem. If you mean the default temperature of this program, those are fine. If you mean that you really need this program, those temperature are fine, but keep in mind that with summer the PC can became hotter, and the possibility to change the temperatures could be helpful.
