So you implemented the two register both (with a Dell laptop detection) already into this test version, the moment you open the fan window or at what part does it write method1/2? I think I read here and there, that one register works for different Dell models than the other.Ĭould you maybe please also implement a "quick and dirty" or if you have more time "smart fan control" mechanism? It doesnt make much sense in its current state, because it toggles the fans off with a hard cut off temperature value, and then it toggles on/off/on/off around the one temperature value. and I dont want to switch because of it to Linux. I would be happy to experiment with something and test, I am really annoyed by the automatic faulty Dell fan control under Windows. people claim though it works fine under Linux, if you use the force=1 overwrite under Linux for i8k/dell-smm-hwmon ( ) They all seem to use the same ASM code and same registers, same as the 3year old ported Windows driver: īut the above doesnt work for me on the XPS 9570, it just doesnt load. I am actually really frustrated, because there seems to be a working way under Linux, and not just one, but several tools, and NONE working for Windows, because all these skilled ASM programmers just use Linux, and have no interest in porting their work to Windows. Anyway, I would give anything to have a Dell EC auto fan control off option build into HwInfo. I see the concerns about having a direct access EC write option in GUI, though it could be disabled via two time warning obviously. Would this be possible to implement in HwInfo? How far implemented is the EC/SMM driver for Dell Laptops in HwInfo? I found these two implementations, one SMM Windows driver port, which is based on the Linux i8k driver or something I think? But it fails to load for the 9570Īnd this one which basically also uses the same registers Found some information on the web, that there is a way to set a register at least for 9550/9560 deactivating the EC fan control Sending values to the fans works with HwInfo, but the EC overwrites them immediately again. I wonder if it would be possible to implement a write to / dump EC register mechanism into HwInfo? I am actually trying to find a way to deactivate EC fan control and let HwInfo control the fans, for the Dell XPS 15 9570.
