NoteBook FanControl (NBFC)
Cross-platform fan control service for notebooks
NoteBook FanControl (NBFC) is a cross-platform fan control service for notebooks. It comes with a powerful configuration system, which allows to adjust it to many different notebook models. Currently, there are no pre-built releases for Linux, but you can easily build NBFC yourself. In general the NBFC Wiki is the first place to go if you have any questions. If you want to build NBFC from source, the first thing you have to do is to download the source code. You can easily clone the NBFC repository via git. Make sure the Mono runtime + development tools are installed on your machine (Debian based distros: mono-complete, Arch based distros: mono). Config files are an integral part of NBFC, because they define how NBFC interacts with your notebook's embedded controller (EC). The EC monitors your system's temperatures and controls the fan(s). It sits on the motherboard or is integrated into a Super I/O chip & is connected to the Southbridge via the Low Pin Count (LPC) bus. -

Lenovo Legion Linux Support
Driver and tools for controlling Lenovo Legion laptops in Linux
Lenovo Legion Linux (LLL) brings additional drivers and tools for Lenovo Legion series laptops to Linux. It is the alternative to Lenovo Vantage or Legion Zone (both Windows only). It allows you to control features like the fan curve, power mode, power limits, rapid charging, and more. This has been achieved through reverse engineering and disassembling the ACPI firmware, as well as the firmware and memory of the embedded controller (EC). -

mbpfan
A simple daemon to control fan speed on all MacBook/MacBook Pros
mbpfan is a lightweight daemon for Linux that provides fan speed management for MacBook and MacBook Pro hardware. It reads temperature data via the coretemp kernel module and drives fan speeds through the applesmc interface, making it especially valuable for users running Linux natively on Apple hardware where automatic thermal control may be lacking. The daemon supports multiple processors and multiple fans, allowing flexible configurations for complex Mac models, and aims to keep systems both cool and quiet by dynamically adjusting fan behavior. While originally based on Allan McRae’s mbpfan, this enhanced version expands compatibility and tuning options. It’s especially useful on Linux installations where default drivers don’t effectively communicate with Apple’s proprietary sensor and fan hardware. Users often pair it with custom configuration profiles to match their preferred balance of noise and temperature control. -

thinkfan
fan control for control fans
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. -

TuxClocker
Qt overclocking tool for GNU/Linux
TuxClocker is an open-source Qt-based overclocking and hardware monitoring utility tailored for GNU/Linux systems. The project combines a DBus daemon with a Qt graphical user interface, allowing users to inspect and adjust performance characteristics of their hardware—particularly GPUs—under Linux. TuxClocker provides a user-friendly GUI atop lower-level interfaces, making it easier to control clock speeds, fan behavior, and other tuning parameters without resorting exclusively to command-line tools. It is especially useful for Linux enthusiasts and power users looking to optimize performance for gaming, content creation, or benchmarking. The project also has a companion command-line version (tuxclocker-cli), broadening usability scenarios for scripting or headless setups. While the features and hardware support may vary by distribution and driver stack, TuxClocker fills a niche for integrated Linux performance tuning with a polished front end. -

lm-sensors
lm-sensors repository
lm-sensors is the canonical Linux project for reading motherboard and peripheral hardware sensors—temperatures, fan speeds, voltages—and exposing them to userspace. It ships a probing utility (sensors-detect) that identifies I²C/SMBus chips and kernel drivers, then a runtime tool (sensors) that prints human-readable readings for quick diagnostics. The companion library, libsensors, gives applications a stable API to query sensor values, enabling desktop applets, monitoring daemons, and alerting systems to build on a common foundation. Configuration files map raw chip registers to friendly labels and scaling factors, so outputs reflect real hardware characteristics across many vendors. With this foundation, higher-level tools (like fancontrol or graphical monitors) can automate cooling policies and warn about thermal or power issues before they become failures. -

Quiet Fan implements a control loop to set your CPU or motherboard fan speed. This means that it uses the lowest possible fan speed to keep a target temperature, and eliminates damaging hardware temperature oscillations.

Phoebetria
Software control for the BitFenix Recon fan controller.
Phoebetria lets you take control of your BitFenix Recon fan controller on more operating systems than the official software. It offers all of the same features as the official software, with the exception of remote access, and has been tested on Windows, Linux, and OS X. The current plan is that future releases will add functionality and control that the official software does not provide -- giving you even more control over your fans. -

TeLOS Linux
humbly smart Operating System - Debian derivative
TeLOS is a new, universal Linux distribution, a carefully customized derivative of Debian bullseye / sid with KDE Plasma Desktop Environment featuring an unbiased selection of useful applications and services. You may find TeLOS Linux to be snappy, lightweight, ready for work or fun straight out of the box and easily configurable. This Operating System is freely distributed and honors free, open source software development. Nevertheless, some non-free proprietary packages are included to widely support common modern hardware. Google Chrome browser and TeamViewer contribute to making this unconventional distribution remote work and distance learning friendly. TeLOStore, our AppStore application, makes installing and uninstalling apps in TeLOS an easy, fast and safe game. TeLOS is suitable both for Linux newcomers and for experienced users. -

Oh My Fan!
Keep your Mac away from heat!
Oh My Fan! is a very useful app. It allows you to adjust your fan speed to make your Intel Mac run cooler. Benefit Highlighting: * Run in background mode with the CPU temperature info diplayed in the menu bar. * Drag the pointer in dashboard to adjust the fan speed. * You can control the fan speed from within the menubar easily. * See the temperature values in either Celsius(℃) or Fahrenheit(℉). * You can choose whether the Oh My Fan! will start at login, and I recommend do so. In order to not damage your machine, Oh My Fan! does not let you set a minimum/maximum speed to a value below/above Apple's defaults. If you encounter any issue, you can email me: Tong-G@outlook.com. If you are using GnuPG, you can send me encrypt email, my GnuPG pub key is sosueme@openmailbox.org, you can retrieve it from keyserver. -
