chassis fan running at full speed, fancontrol not working Ubuntu 20.04 Amd ASUS MB
by slipstream5 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#540Q4)
Hello,
I have tried to follow several methods to control my fans, nothing worked.
I have a M4A88T-M motherboard with a Phenom AMD processor and NVIDIA Quadro600 PCIe card.
I installed thermald, lmsensors, fancontrol, and Xsensors and Psensors so I can get a graphical reading of my fan speeds and temps.
Even after I added a line in /etc/default/grub
Code:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_enforce_resources=lax"I still couldn't get pwm to run.
Code:sudo pwmconfig
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed.Another attempt:
Code:sudo service kmod start
Job for systemd-modules-load.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Code:cat /etc/modules # Generated by sensors-detect on Thu May 28 02:29:36 2020

I also tried Code:sudo systemctl status fancontrol
fancontrol.service - fan speed regulator
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/fancontrol.service; enabled; vendor pr>
Active: inactive (dead)
Condition: start condition failed at Thu 2020-05-28 02:36:07 EDT; 1h 5min ago
Docs: man:fancontrol(8)
man:pwmconfig(8)
systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in fan speed regulator being skipped.
systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/fancontrol.service:11: PIDFile= references a path below legacy directory /var/run/>
According to sensors-detect the 2 sensors that work and could be loaded as modules are
Code:Driver `it87':
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `ITE IT8712F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 10h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)What should I use in Ubuntu 20.04 to adjust my chassis fan speed? I'm confused on how to approach this properly.
