If you go to the dedicated section which is on the GitHub page of the application, you can find out if this utility supports your laptop or not.īefore the service can begin, you must select a preset configuration. The application is compatible with many popular laptop brands, including Sony, Lenovo, Packard Bell, HP, Dell, ASUS, and Acer. Using the upper toolbar, you can choose from several different configurations which coincide with the make and model of your laptop. The first time you do this, a simple-looking window will pop up.

Click on the icon to start the application. After that is done, the app’s icon is added to the taskbar of your computer. Thank you very much for any help and for your time.You can control the fan speed of your laptop with this software called “ NoteBook FanControl.” The installation process is fast and simple too. I would like to create a circuit using an attiny85 (i have very little room to work with), that would turn the fans off or down to their minimum 15% duty cycle when the laptop is idling or doing very little workload yet it would allow the laptop's fan controller to take full control of the fans when the workload and thus temperature increases. Moreover, the fans can also function with an input PWM cycle of as low as 15% which makes them very silent. Testing has shown that the SPEED wire from the fans is not taken into consideration by the fan controller, which only adjusts fan speed according to CPU and GPU temperatures, and so as to simplify the implementation can be ignored. SPEED from fan: 5V pk-pk, 50% duty cycle, square wave. Min duty cycle: 25%, max duty cycle: 100% PWM to fan: 24 KHz, 3.3V pk-pk square wave. The 4 wires are 5V, GND, PWM from fan controller to fan, SPEED from fan to fan controller. The two fans have 4 wires each and are controlled by a fan controller built into the laptop's motherboard. I "recently" got a new laptop and its fans are very noisy at idle.
