RPM instead of low and high

Asked by Clemens Stary

I'm take a look in your code and there is just possible to set low or high speed.
Is it also possible to set the rpm?

The speed is defined in hardware, by the model of the cooler. And the values, for Dell, is fixed in two or three. So, it is not possible to set a rpm, just choose zero, low or high.

But do you need to set a specific rpm value in your notebook?

I just think i would be better because of the fan noise.
I think it's better because you can cool down earlier the cpu temp with lower speed instead of waiting until it reach the configured max temp and than switch into full speed.

Can you help with this problem?
