Looking for an easy to use fan control app for Debian 12
by road hazard from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J7X9)
Using Debian 12 and I'd like to know if there's an app out there (prefer a GUI :) ) that lets me see and EASILY control -all- fans attached to my system.
I have some pwm fans on the SYS_FAN headers on my motherboard and I tried CoolerControl but either that program doesn't let you control those types of fans or I don't know how to get the program to see the fans. It looks like it just monitors the CPU temp. I didn't see anywhere to set up fan control. Is there a document that holds your hand and walks you through setting it up?
Next up, I installed lm-sensors. I followed the setup instructions but didn't see that it detected my SYS_FAN attached case fans. In some document I was following, t -DID- mention I need to reboot after adding some info to a file but I couldn't do it at the moment and will wait for the scheduled reboot at 6am to check it.
After that, I installed psensor. It shows the temp for all my drives (and CPU) but refuses to show the RPM for any case fans. Weird thing is though, I installed this program on a test PC and my CPU fan speed showed up there at least.
TLDR: Not having any luck with being able to read the RPM for attached pwn fans on my motherboard.
