TPFanCtrl2 VS thinkfan

I am also running TPFanControl v2.1.5 by Shuzhengz(https://github.com/Shuzhengz/TPFanCtrl2). The fan is set to manual at 64 (MAX FAN SPEED I UNDERSTAND THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USING THIS SETTING AND I ACCEPT).

Your only option is basically using TPFanControl but I guess you're doing it already. On devices with dual fans there's also TPFanControl2 :)

For Windows: TPFanCtrl2

Try TPFanCtrl2, its on GitHub: https://github.com/Shuzhengz/TPFanCtrl2

For windows, you can find an app to allow manual fan control here: https://github.com/Shuzhengz/TPFanCtrl2

I also downloaded the TPFanControl (ver 2.1.3 at the time of this post) files from here: https://github.com/Shuzhengz/TPFanCtrl2

Here you go

Found this earlier today, but can't seem to figure out how to properly get it working. It says "To avoid errors, either install tvicport manually or install the original version of TPFanControl found here (source code here), and run the dual-fan version instead of the original version."

I use Thinkfan on my T420, T440, X230 and X1 that run Linux. I linked the author's github page, but I believe it's available straight from the package manager in Ubuntu/Mint, so elementary might have it too

For Linux: thinkfan

I have found Thinkfan seems to be a good way to control Thinkpad fans on Ubuntu. https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan

Solved that with Thinkfan (https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan)

The second solution on this page probably isn't reliable, because hwmon paths like `hwmon3` depend on module load order.

That's likely the same reason for the `card*` workaround mentioned above.

I am using thinkfan for this and it works really well: https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan

I wrote about it here: https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan/issues/190

As thinkfan (https://github.com/vmatare/thinkfan) doesn't come prepackaged with my Debian version I tried to build it myself. I installed all the libraries as instructed in the README file, and followed the build instructions. Running cmake works fine, but then when I run make I get the following linker error that I cannot solve no matter what I try (this is actually my first time building a project!):
