Problem with coolers in Asus Eee pc 1011 px

IlPrincipino · 2011-12-09 08:03:08

Well I installed Arch in this netbook and the performance is wonderful, but i have an important problem. The fans dont seem to regulate themself and they dont start speeding when the netbook is getting hotter. Is there any way to solve this, like setting them to be always at the maximium speed or something like that ?
Thanks.

I installed lm sensors and after running sensors-detect and sensors it shows the following
[user@Arch ~]$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +66.0°C (crit = +101.0°C)

That is slightly warmer than mine (a 901 which usually hovers around the mid-50s). Have you cleaned the machine by removing dust from the vents, etc?

Yes, and it is is new, so it is a software related issue. Thanks.

What netbook do you have?

Check wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_Speed_Control

In AUR you have some packages to control fans.

Arch Linux
