[SOLVED] Acer Aspire Fan Control

Postby JoesCat » Sep 15th, '11, 04:55

Took a bit of looking around, but you can add fan control to the Acer Aspire 110, 150, 531, 751, 1410, 1810, 1825, Gateway 110, 150, LT31, Packard Bell 110 150 by adding a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ named acerhdf.conf

Code: Select all
options acerhdf interval=5 fanon=65000 fanoff=55000 kernelmode=1


Note: This does not apply to Mageia since it is a relatively new distro, but if you are running an older kernel, older than 2.6.31.20, use 65 and 55 instead of 65000 and 55000. If you prefer cooler temperatures, just select lower values (for example 60000 and 50000).
