improving fan control

2011-01-01T22:53:16Z

At first, thank you for writing this tool!

Now for my suggestion: I suggest to provide not one but two temperature-fan settings:
one for Increasing fan level and one for decreasing fan level:
Example: the fan swithes from level 0 to 1 at 46 degree. Now it would be nice that the fan stops only if the temperature gets lower than, lets' say, 43 degree.
Is that a lot of work?

Cheers,
Jack

Display modification for T60p

2007-07-12T18:51:03Z

It seems that the program works fine on the T60, however it looks like the values are 2X as they should be. I'm showing CPU temp at 82C and GPU at 90C with the system pretty much idle. T60p normally runs hotter than a firecracker, but that's almost 200F. I don't believe it. The battery is showing 50C (122F) which is the icing on my observation.

Stability

Crashes and "can't read data" are more often when
system ist under CPU load but - if task priority of
fan control is increased both are reduced

What' about a "service process" started from fan
control to wath if fan control is still running? If
the service process task dies, fancontrol restarts it
and vice versa ... just some thoughts. Thanks for
this hack,

Frank

A few things

2005-12-21T01:12:51Z

I like the program so far. It's really nice when I just
want a bit of quiet. Well, here's what I think is
needed in the next version

1. More stability. Under load (like when playing games)
the program will sometimes crash, which is a little scary

2. Sound options. I don't always want to hear a beep
sound when the fan switches speeds

3. startup options. I want to stick the shortcut of
fancontrol in the startup folder, and when it boots up,
to startup in smart mode. Currently it doesn't

That's all, this is a really nice little program, keep
up the good work!
