Thinkpad Fan Control GUI

Screenshot

This is an application for controlling fan speed on IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads.

It can also monitor CPU temp and fan RPM.

It is written for Linux only. For windows, see http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

How it Works?

  • Parses sensors command to show CPU temp and fan RPM
  • Modifies /proc/acpi/ibm/fan to change fan speed

Dependencies

sudo apt install lm-sensors python3 python3-tk

Setup

  • Open this file, using command -- sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf
  • Add line options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
  • Reboot.
  • python3 fan.py

( Add sudo to modify speed )

Note: You are required to have the Linux kernel with thinkpad-acpi patch. (Ubuntu, Solus and a few others already seem to have this)
