[RESPONDED] Changing the fan temperture points with ectool

Loell_Framework · August 24, 2023, 1:30am

Curious, are you able to take screenshot when this happens?

I’ll try and post it here although there isn’t much to see.

I get a battery critically low notification and something like 10 seconds later the laptop shuts down.

I am running Fedora’s cinnamon spin so it may be a Cinnamon bug ? It wouldn’t be the first bug I get

Edit: @Loell_Framework So yeah it happens too fast for me to screenshot it. Another piece of information is that I am maxing out my battery at 60% in the UEFI since it’s stationary.

Edit 2: Actually there’s a Cinnamon setting to “Do nothing” when the battery is extremely low (which I never let happen anyways). So I guess I jsut “fixed” my issue

Any updates about fw-fanctrl? AFAIK the fan control monitors the cpu_f75303@4d which is NOT the CPU temperature, the actual CPU temperature is cpu@4c but the fan only starts when the CPU is already thermal shutdown(103 C and 105 C), as shown

$ sudo ectool temps all
--sensor name -------- temperature -------- ratio (fan_off and fan_max) --
local_f75303@4d       319 K (= 46 C)          20% (313 K and 343 K)
cpu_f75303@4d         321 K (= 48 C)          25% (319 K and 327 K)
ddr_f75303@4d         315 K (= 42 C)        N/A (fan_off=401 K, fan_max=401 K)
cpu@4c                365 K (= 92 C)           0% (376 K and 378 K)

Is it possible for fw-fanctrl to use the temp reading of cpu@4c and edit the fan curve on that one accordingly?

I’ve been using this systemd service for a while, and I’m happy with it:
