Would be great if we can configure the fan curve profiles in the BIOS too.

In Linux, thanks to ectool, you can actually do better and control the fan curves without going into the BIOS:

[RESPONDED] Changing the fan temperture points with ectool

After listen to annoying fan noises for way too long I figured that I could dig into the framework EmbeddedController source code to see if it could be fixed. Well, I found that the temperature points for the fan can be adjusted! And that’s all I wanted. WARNING: running your laptop at higher temperatures might shorten its lifetime. This might not be covered by warranty. Misconfiguring a “halt” temperature could result in a long recovery session. Prerequisite Get a ectool version with frame.…

There’s also a neat little daemon which lets you do more advanced fan control strategies:

[Linux] Fan speed controller with custom speed curve

I was a bit annoyed by the noise of my FrameWork laptop’s fan, which was spinning way too fast for my taste, so I’ve written a little script to fix that over the weekend. You can find it here: GitHub - TamtamHero/fw-fanctrl There’s a bash script to install it as a service / uninstall it. I’ve only tested it on Ubuntu 20.04 but I think it should work on other distributions as well. Feel free to improve it and push PRs, the script is very small (~100 lines of Python) and can be perfected/ made …
