For the last few days 've been having issues with my framework fan either being off (silent) or on at 100% (reporting as 8000 RPM). I’ve running installed Ubuntu a few weeks ago and the only major modification I’ve made to the default install is setting up hibernation.
I don’t know what caused the issue, I just started hearing the fan going berserk while watching TV. I was running BIOS version 3.10 so I updated to the latest (3.22) but the issue is still there. I tried disconnecting the battery and waiting a few minutes to full reset the EC but that didn’t help.
Online it suggested checking the trip points, the result is here (I don’t know if it is normal for the x86 to have trip points at absolute zero?!?)
user@user-linux:~$ for zone in /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*; do echo -n "$zone: "; cat $zone/type; done
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0: acpitz
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1: INT3400 Thermal
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2: SEN3
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone3: SEN5
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4: TCPU
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone5: iwlwifi_1
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone6: x86_pkg_temp
user@user-linux:~$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone6/trip_point_*_temp
-274000
-274000
I’m at a bit of a loss as to what to try next, the laptop works fine, other than the fan making a nuisance of itself being very sporadic.
