Rmmod module still active although removed.
by jopema from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EJ13)
Dear forum.
Main reason I'm not using Linux is because of CPU fan. Most Linux distributions spins up cpu fan max and most people withstand that but not me. In windows you just download any CPU fan controller and shut off the fan, done. Burning a cpu is ridiculous exagerated, I have never been able burning a cpu how hard I tried, even when I forgot to activate fan when compiling over night the damn computer is still alive and I don't get a new one.
Now I have to use a Linux for different reasons and fan is driving me crazy, all though the fan module is removed with rmmod or modprobe -r the module is removed when doing a lsmod but the CPU fan is still making noise so somehow it is still active. Is there anyway I can kill a module completely, just make the CPU fan dead, done, gone. I will not use Linux if I can't have a silent computer like it is in quiet cool and efficient windows. Yes I can cut the wire but I want to use fan when compiling big files over night to avoid thermal throttling.
Out of experience I know there will be discussion if I should be allowed switching off fan but let me message that any computer not adhering to my requirements will be broken over my knee, I have done it before because I have good backup hygiene and I will do it again but that does not solve the issue with bad software.
Please have mercy.
