EliteBook 8560w, sensors and fan control.

Hi everyone,

I've setted up all I could in my laptop, including SSD improvements, cpufreq and laptop-mode-tools.
But I can't avoid to have the fans kicking up at max speed at any moment.

Even when the load is really light and the air blowed out is cool, the fans switch to higher speeds. Like the all system is trying to keep cool around 40°/50°C

I turned off the option in the bios (fan always ON on AC), but it only works partially.
Sometimes the laptop totally cuts the fan, but that's only when CPU's are around 40°C

I don't know if there's a way to send useful information to lm_sensors team so they can fix or add the detection of this fan.


Thanks for your help, here I paste informations that I could get,the sensors-detect and the sensors result itself.

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): 
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'...               No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x0701
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'...               No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     Yes
Found unknown non-standard chip with ID 0x7a

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): 
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290...       No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290...       No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290...                   No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290...                   No

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): 
Sorry, no supported PCI bus adapters found.

Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue: 

Driver `coretemp':
  * Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)

Do you want to overwrite /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors? (YES/no): 
You should now start the lm_sensors service to load the required
kernel modules.

Unloading i2c-dev... OK
Unloading cpuid... OK
