Usage with fancontrol #3

Closed maxekman closed 4 years ago

maxekman commented 4 years ago

I tried out this mod with Manjaro and it works great, getting the liquid temp and fan speeds showing up in sensors. However when I try to configure fancontrol (manually) it will not work as it thinks it’s a PWM fan. I can post more detailed config and error messages later.

In the meantime, any suggestions for how to make fancontrol control the X52 (in my case)?

Thanks, Max

No need for more info, this happens because I haven't implemented the necessary pwm attributes yet. It's something I'm still planing to do, but I have to admit it isn't a priority right now.

In the meantime, you can use liquidctl to set fan/pump profiles based on liquid temperature (as long as your X52 is running a somewhat recent firmware). You can also take a look at liquidctl's experimental "yoda" script for fan/pump control based on other sensors.

Thanks for the tips! I’m currently running liquidctl with systemd, works really well. Will check out the yoda script to try to control the fans from CPU temp then.
