The laptop is under 40% load, the processor is almost 90 degrees.

Windows overclocked the fan in such cases, but Mint doesn't care, the fan barely works (the problem is in the software, the laptop was recently cleaned)

The fan is often BIOS controlled afaik.

#

Perhaps, fancontrol may help you.

#

Run apt search fancontrol to find out more, and sudo apt install fancontrol if you want to install it.

I tried using sensors and fancontrol, but they do not want to work, due to the fact that the fans in my laptop do not support PWM

#

That's rough. The only thing that controls your fans might just be your BIOS.

#

Not that I'm quite well-versed at it either.

#

Perhaps, you can search around if there's a specific utility for your hardware.

when I had windows, my laptop controlled the fan normally

Windows is not Linux and Linux is not Windows :>

# pwmconfig version 3.6.0
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.

We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.

/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

last line is normal?

must be an MSI computer

supple ermine

Not that I have any pwm-capable sensors in my machine either.

MSI have some community utilities afaik.

#

I'll look around in a bit.

Follow the installation manual in the readme file.

WOW

#

Now I can control it! it was at 2300 rpm, I can rev it up to 7400!

#

it's really powerful

#

The question remains: how much can I set the parameters so that the fan doesn’t fall off after a week?

supple ermine
#

That I'm not aware of.
