Windows + virtual machine + OpenSolaris would load CPU heavily, and high fan speed is usual in this case. Nothing running - do you mean OpenSolaris on bare hardware? At present I'm running a virtual machine (with Windows) and Gnome but I get the same fan speed even when there is nothing

[osol-discuss] Fan speed control in OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana

I have noticed that when booting my system in Windows the fans are rotating at a much lower speed than in OSOL/OI. I even tested running some heavy applications for the duration of a couple of hours and still the fans were lower. The conclusion I draw from this is that there is no fan speed

Also have you been able to tell which fan is spinning fast? If there is a fan on the graphics card, which model? ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

I'm unable to tell exactly what fans are spinning faster than normal but I suspect it is all system fans that are controlled via the motherboard. I have to measure this up somehow to be able to tell... Perhaps there is some fancontrol software in OSOL/OI that can give RPMs. The GPU I use is
