pwmconfig

Many Linux users who manage their own hardware, especially in the context of desktops or self-built computers, might sometimes find it necessary to adjust the fan speed to optimize cooling or reduce noise. This article explores how to control fan speeds using lm-sensors and pwmconfig. A1: lm-sensors is a Linux tool that provides essential drivers and utilities to monitor the temperature, voltage, and fans in a system. pwmconfig is a script that comes with lm-sensors, which helps users configure fan speed control settings by manipulating the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals based on the sensor readings. Q2: How do I install lm-sensors and pwmconfig? A2: You can install both tools via your Linux distribution’s package manager.
