I have a clevo n141wu intel i5-8250U Ubuntu 18.04.



I've tried lm-sensors and when sudo pwmconfig is executed it won't find my fan.



/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0: +71.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0: +66.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +68.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2: +66.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3: +71.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +69.0°C (crit = +120.0°C)

iwlwifi-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +47.0°C

pch_skylake-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +60.0°C

$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp
68000
59000
68000
47000


Is there any other way I can control my fan?

  • what does htop tell you about process utilization? something spinning your CPU at 100%? could it be the GPU heating up? Which graphics card are you using?

Try this utility https://github.com/ichiriac/ubuntu-smart-fan, it's based on lm-sensors and it will manage the fan speed and log them.
