So I decided to make my own lightweight application with the OpenHardwareMonitorLib API, and here is what I got so far. The existing UI is a HWMonitor clone that allows to set a manual fan speed to any fan, but no temperature/speed fan curve here. OpenHardwareMonitor is divided into two parts, an API to interact with your hardware ( CPU, RAM, Fans. However, thanks to the code base being open sourced, there are a couple of active branches, LibreHardwareMonitor being the best one I found, supporting my MSI Z390 Edge AC board and being updated regularly. The first link is an original project which could be downloaded here , but just like SpeedFan, the project is not updated anymore. I searched around for an alternative software with this particular feature and only found a paid option (Angus Monitor). (My BIOS only supports CPU temperature as a temperature source for the PWM fans). I used it to bind my case fans speed to the hottest component of my PC, my GPU. The main feature I used was the custom fan curves with custom temperature sources. When it opens, run commands below one by one: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mactel-support/ppaįor Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy, install it from an unofficial repository: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:detly/mactel-utilsįor Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty, search for and install macfanctld package in Ubuntu Software Center after checking for updates.I built a new custom UI on top of OpenHardwareMonitor with additional features, mainly linear fan curves with custom temperature sources.Īs you guys may know, SpeedFan is sadly not updated anymore, so newer boards are not detected properly. Press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open terminal. So far, it supports Ubuntu 13.04 Raring, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise, and Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. You can easily get this daemon from the developer’s PPA. But I think this daemon will work good on Ubuntu because Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty has made this into its universe repository.
Well, you may already know that there’s a fan control daemon which reads the temperature sensors in an Apple Macbook (or Macbook Pro) computer and throttles the fans accordingly to keep the temperature within configurable limits. Running Ubuntu on Apple MacBook / MacBook Pro computers?
