As I understand it, the asus_atk0110 driver is read-only. That is, you
can get temperature information etc from it, but you can't adjust
warning limits or control fans. That's the BIOS' job, supposedly.

fan control in wheezy

[yudi v]

Hi,

I just installed wheeezy 64bit (kernel 3.2.0.4) and the fans (CPU fan and
the two fans powered by the MB) are running at full speed.
it's a asus p8z68-m pro MB,

Heres the output of sensors:

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:+27.8°C  (crit = +99.0°C)
temp2:+29.8°C  (crit = +99.0°C)

coretemp-isa-
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +33.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 0: +33.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 1: +33.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 2: +33.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 3: +33.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)



Here is the output from sensors-detect:

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:

Driver `w83627ehf':
  * ISA bus, address 0x290
Chip `Nuvoton NCT6776F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

Driver `coretemp':
  * Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)

To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#cut here
# Chip drivers
coretemp
w83627ehf
#cut here

Does acpi-cpufreq need to be added to /etc/moduels?

only the below two modules were added

coretemp
w83627ehf

# modproble w83627ehf returns the following error

ERROR: could not insert 'w83627ehf': Device or resource busy

After doing some research, and reading

I replaced w83627ehf with asus_atk0110 in /etc/modules

still no use, the fans keep running at maximum.

Also fancontrol does not run because there is no /etc/fancontrol and
when I run pwmconfig, it says:
There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed.

Does that mean I need to write /etc/fancontrol file manually?


Kind regards,
Yudi
