Dell fan speed control mitigation. This script will maitain the fan speed at the minimum possible while keeping your system under the temprature you specify.
This file is public domain and provided as-is. There are NO guarantees. Use at your own risk.
This script was created after discovering a non-reaction of the cooling system (fan rpm) to load conditions. (overheating, clock step-down, ...)
Preparations:
modprobe ipmi_msghandler
modprobe ipmi_devintf
modprobe ipmi_si
lsmod | grep ipmi
if success add modules to /etc/modules
apt-get install ipmitool lm-sensors
sensors-detect
sensors
check output of sensors for at least one line with core temp
ipmitool -I open sensor
check output of ipmitool for correct function
Best regards
