Hello,
I have set up fancontrol according to this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fan_speed_control, but whenever I use it the fans constantly spins up because cpu temperature spikes back and forth. When I am not using the fancontrol and actually have my cpu fan at a lower rpm, my temps are steady,
At first I thought it was my nvidia card (fans where spinning so high before fancontrol so I did not notice)
I tried this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … ries_cards even thou I have a 600 serie card, but it made no difference.
Then I switch to let my motherboard have full control over the fans, and I have no problems, but as soon as I turn on fancontrol the cpu temerature keeps spiking and fans spins back and forth, and that is with a higher base rpm then what my motherboard have set for the cpu fans.
My /etc/fancontrol configuration

MAXPWM=hwmon1/pwm1=255 hwmon1/pwm2=255 hwmon1/pwm3=255 hwmon1/pwm4=255I am fine with my temps and noise now that I tweaked motherboard control over fans, but it would be interesting to hear if other people have had the same problem as I did, and if a solution exist. Fancontrol gives me better control over the fans, so if I can use that - I would prefer it.

Hello,
The reason for the problem was because I had a typo in my configuration file in "/etc/modules-load.d/" in order to load up the lm_sensors, wich ofcource broke the setup and made those spikes I experianced.
