If your hardware >> doesn't play along... game over :-/ > > Yeah, but if so, why doesn't it? > Your motherboard *seems* to have it's own way of dealing with the fan controls. Here's what the docs says : - Fan Xpert 4 featuring Fan Auto Tuning function and multiple thermistors selection for optimized system cooling control I find it somewhat pretty ironic here, normally gamer rig would be water cooled and have multi colored fan with nice led. You are trying to get rid of the fans ! There's a unique reason why gamer modify their system and use water cooling or many other way to get rid of heat. Because gamer rig normally produce hell of heat. Like already explained by others, if you want to persist in this vein, you can always install your own thermistors and fan, and control these yourself the same way you'd control some type of hardware device with a GPIO or I2C bus driven setup. But seems that the standard software doesn't play along. Probably your board has it's own proprietary way of managing the fans instead of using the normal way of reporting sensor. Normal way being what is set in standards and compatible between brands. Often on those type of budget motherboard, they'll cut the cost by using unconventional way of doing thing. If it's possible to cut the chip driving the I2C (1 wire bus) used to drive the fan then they'll do so. I think you got all the information at hand now. -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development

With that as the basis: $ dlocate fan-divisors lm-sensors: /usr/share/doc/lm-sensors/fan-divisors.gz So apparently this is part of lm-sensors, and in order to adhere to the Debian-packaging filesystem layout, the packagers move its doc/ directory to be /usr/share/doc/lm-sensors/. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

OK, I was wrong, I just checked the motherboard with a flashlight and there are fan connectors with 4 pins! I also checked my sock drawer and - holy socks! - I found a computer fan from AMD, it comes with a cooling tower as well so I think it's for the CPU, anyway it has a 4-wire! So I'll just connect it (someplace else) and see what happens. No wonder the BIOS/UEFI had PWM and not DC the default. Let's see what pwmconfig says now... 1s -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal

If you throttle your CPU, it will not generate as much heat:
https://wiki.debian.org/CpuFrequencyScaling
Some motherboards have temperature sensors, firmware, and fan connectors
(e.g. 4-pin) that can control the fan speed(s) according to measured
temperatures and firmware settings, provided that you have compatible
fans. Check your hardware, motherboard technical manual, and firmware
settings.
If your motherboard is lacking, another approach is to buy a chassis fan
with a built-in temperature sensor and speed controller. For example:
https://www.arctic.de/en/f12tc
Yet another approach is to buy a hardware fan controller:

The GPU seems to be always 41C while the CPU shows a cycle of
some 34-47C.

Fan connectors are 3-pin!

The motherboard is Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming.
Fans are:
fan front low be quiet! Shadow Wings 2 140 mm
front high be quiet! Shadow Wings 2 140 mm
CPU cooling tower be quiet! Pure Wings 2 120 mm (2)
rear Corsair 120 mm
projector extra fractal Silent Series R3 140 mm
> firmware settings
Where are these? The BIOS/UEFI?

Have you read the wiki page regarding *frequency scaling* ? Frequency scaling is a technique to lower the speed of your CPU. The less fast your CPU runs, the less power it will consume. As already explained, power and heat are inter-related. So if it run less fast, you'll be producing less heat. Not sure what you mean by *permanently* or *when not using computer* You configure the governor to suit your needs. Here's some info http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt http://www.pantz.org/software/cpufreq/usingcpufreqonlinux.html https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU_Frequency_Scaling > >> Some motherboards have temperature sensors > > The GPU seems to be always 41C while the CPU shows a cycle of > some 34-47C. > >> fan connectors (e.g. 4-pin) > > Fan connectors are 3-pin! > >> that can control the fan speed(s) according to measured >> temperatures and firmware settings, provided that you have >> compatible fans.

Could be proprietary and not open. On budget motherboard, saving a chip is saving some cash and making profit. The significant difference in practice is that 4-pin fans allow for RPM to change based on the need for cooling temperature, this reduces noise and power consumption. While 3-pin can control the voltage, but the voltage can't turn to change the fan RPM at all and accurate as much as 4 pin fans. [2] What Is the Difference Between Three- and Four-Pin CPU Fans?

You can only throttle it when you go into a close to stop. But this is really ineffective way of trying to control the speed. You'll be running at at most a hundred rpm. > > What Is the Difference Between Three- and Four-Pin CPU Fans?

You'll be running at at most a hundred rpm. But then why doesn't pwmconfig ask for 4-pin fans? It asks for 3-pin fans so while ineffective it's something people still care to do. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
