So I decided to switch from Win8 to Ubuntu for dev (all the team uses..), and so I have the it-seems-classic problem of 'fan was quiet under Win and blasts with Ubuntu'
I've tried everything - loaded all the apps - read all the info I could find. And I still can't get it to be quiet.
I have identified the GPU to be the problematic fan, since I could successfully shut down the CPU fan while testing with pwmconfig (although it won't write a conf file after).
So I run this pwmconfig, and I even login as root to try and create a config file manually in /etc/fancontrol but without success.
The log below show too blasting fans but it's actually only one - the other one has been triggered up by pwmconfig...
Any idea how I could solve this?
sensors works
pwmconfig works - at least as a diagnosis
fancontrol would work if I could write a proper config file I guess.
