Can't detect any fans or Alienware M15 R3
lhg1992 opened this issue · comments
Just as the title show. The Fan Control software can't find the fans of the Alienware M15 R3 using windows 10. It can only detect the CPU temperature.
The official alienware fan control (AWCC) works normally, but its advanced "smooth line" mode is so stupid. The stupid AWCC developers fixed two points at temperature 0 and 100° with a total number of 3 points available in the control, which means two points at the ends can only move vertically. Therefore, you can only build stupid control patterns as follows:
Based on the solution of fan control of alienware on Linux, it needs the "i8kutils" and "lm_sensors" packages to get the fan sensor data. Hope this can help you improve the Fan Control software and solve this issue.
