How do I get fan control working?
On Windows 7 I can set CPU fan speed via ASUS software that was included on CD. I tried to set CPU fan also on Ubuntu and I found this: http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/127/how-to-control-fan-speed-lm-sensors-in-ubuntu . I installed lm-sensors and I ran sudo sensors-detect (here's ending output):
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `it87':
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `ITE IT8728F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 10h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `sbs':
* Bus `Radeon i2c bit bus 0x92'
Busdriver `UNKNOWN', I2C address 0x0b
Chip `Smart Battery' (confidence: 5)
To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
it87
sbs
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!
Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)no
Unloading i2c-dev... OK
Unloading cpuid... OK
Then I run sudo sensors -s (no output) and sudo sensors:
$ sudo sensors

Adapter: ACPI interface
Vcore Voltage: +1.39 V (min = +0.85 V, max = +1.60 V)

+5 Voltage: +5.13 V (min = +4.50 V, max = +5.50 V)
+12 Voltage: +10.41 V (min = +10.20 V, max = +13.80 V)
CPU FAN Speed: 4623 RPM (min = 600 RPM)
CHASSIS FAN Speed: 4623 RPM (min = 600 RPM)
CPU Temperature: +49.0°C (high = +60.0°C, crit = +95.0°C)
MB Temperature: +43.0°C (high = +45.0°C, crit = +75.0°C)

(crit = +83.5°C, hyst = +81.5°C)
radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +67.5°C
Finally I ran sudo pwmconfig:
$ sudo pwmconfig
# pwmconfig revision 5857 (2010-08-22)
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.
We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
What is going on? Why pwmconfig does not detect modules? My /etc/modules file:
$ cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
