nbfc-revive VS fancontrol-gui

The closest I've gotten to successful control is by using the nbfc-revive fork of NoteBook FanControl (https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive) by following these steps:

For laptops there's nbfc or its rewrite nbfc-linux.

One other idea, https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive

I got rid of NitroSense and installed NBFC instead. (https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive) Fans go on when they should and off when they should. You know the laptop's very hot when NBFC ramps up the speed to the max as soon as Windows boots up.

If it came with Windows 11, stay with Windows 11 unless you have a product key for Windows 10. Windows 11 garbage right now, but it'll catch up soon. Don't worry about undervolting. Just set your power plan to 99%. If you remove NitroSense and replace it with NBFC (https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive) you'll be golden.

Change your power settings to use 99% of the CPU. Also make sure you're using Notebook Fan Control. https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive

There's also a fork of it with more updates, since the other tool wasn't updated for quite some time: https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive

I understand that some people want to avoid the CC at all cost. It might reduce battery life and it's a crappy peace of software in general. The Notebook Fan Control project got revived and it seems that in the next couple of days an update might be included that will support the 11800H. This would allow you to control the Fans without the CC. Some people uninstall CC completely (and lose the OSD, Keyboard Color Control, Power modes and thus the ability to raise the GPU Power limit), some have it autostart and kill it. If you write a script for that which kills CC on login and starts NBFC, this could be comfortable and you might keep the OSD. Also you could choose Turbo Mode and kill your CC afterwards. https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive

However, I don't want my locale to reflect all units this way.

I might try overriding the locale for this single process, however I it was just easier for me to compile a patched version of the code that was available on the Arch User Repository already.

Though I have no idea why the git version defaults to Celsius.

Have you tried using fancontrol-gui? It was a little confusing to set up at first but it worked for me.

Have you tried using fan control/fan control-gui? I’m fairly sure I’ve seen in the past it has support for 0 rpm: https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui

It does this for every fan, then you tell it the minimum and maximum PWM values for each fan, and the start/stop temperatures, and which thermal sensor to use for its fan curve, but you don't have to fuck with all that, cause you can install fancontrol-gui, which is just a fancy GUI front-end to easily interact with the whole thing and set up the configuration. Go to https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui, and copy the first command for Ubuntu to install the dependencies, then the second Ubuntu-labeled block of commands to clone, build and install the project. That's all you gotta do, then reboot (or run sudo systemctl daemon-reload) and launch fancontrol-gui. Set up your curves and restart the systemd service and tell it to run at boot or whatever.

There is lm-sensors which has fancontrol. GUI-edition

Fancontrol-gui should get the job done.

Are you talking about this (https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui)?
