You can write a script to check the CPU temps in linux and set the fans to kick on at different power levels for certain temps and just run it as a timer event.

- oever 8y agoCould you share your setup? There are so many tools available for tuning of power use and fans. It's hard to pick the right one. I'd prefer to run my laptop with as few fan activity as possible without overheating. So when the CPU gets too hot, clock it down instead of starting the fan.
