Is there a way to put the fan off on ubuntu 20.04. The fan is broken and make a lot of noise. I have to fix it up. For the moment, to stop it, I have to open the cap on my computer and force it to stop manually.

Have you tried unplugging it? If this is your only source of CPU cooling, you probably ought to get it fixed first. – Nmath Mar 12 '21 at 02:21

The fan must be connected. If I restart the computer and the fan is unplugged, it won't work. – Leo Mar 12 '21 at 02:23

If the motherboard supports PWM, you can easily do this using fancontrol. See the instructions in the link above. – rtaft Mar 20 '21 at 22:37
