0x64 About 4300rpm tpfancontrol

Asked by Brad Nelson

I dual boot my laptop and have a program on the windows side that takes care of the fan speed for me. http://www.tpfancontrol.com/ This program has fan speeds 0-7 but you are able to use a higher speed if you type in 64 in the Manual setting box. That gets the fan up to around 4300 rpm. I've found that when gaming that the higher speed is a necessity to keep the gpu cool. What i'm wondering is there any setting I can use in my profile with your program that would let me get the fan up to that speed? I have a 64575KU t61p and I run 64 bit ubuntu on my linix partition. Thanks! and the program is great, appreciate the hard work and quality programming. :-)

To start with, I am an absolute beginner in Linux.

When running Linux, the fan runs very loud all the time, even if no application is running.
When running Windows XP, I almost got no noise from the fan. Only at start-up or when running a heavy application the fan was a bit louder.

Please can somebody help me out, telling me step by step what I shoud do to fix this?
I even do not know where to find the motherboard-driver....

I have Ubuntu-Linux 9.04.
My motherboard is ASUS P5B-E

Thank you.
