How to stop fan running always on Asus P8P76LE motherboard with ATI Radeon HD6900
- by Chris Good
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I'm not sure if it is the CPU (i7) fan or the video card fan.
I've tried using lm-sensors & fancontrol
sudo sensors-detect
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `w83627ehf':
* ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `Nuvoton NCT6776F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `coretemp':
* Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)
To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
# Chip drivers
coretemp
w83627ehf
Like many people, I'm also getting error:
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
Here is the output of sensors:
# sensors
radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +71.0°C
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +44.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 0: +44.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 1: +40.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 2: +43.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 3: +42.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
I'm hoping some-one has already solved this for my configuration because this seems to be a problem for many people and there are many different suggestions.
