A simple fan control program. Read temperatures, check them against configured limits and switch to appropriate (also pre-configured) fan level. Requires a working thinkpad_acpi or any other hwmon driver that enables temperature reading and fan control from userspace.

Features

  • per-sensor temperature limits
  • arbitrary strings as fan level (supports "disengaged" and "auto" modes on thinkpads)
  • some sanity checks (cough)
  • DANGEROUS mode which allows you to destroy your hardware
  • ability to destroy your hardware even without dangerous mode if you try hard enough
