MSI laptop fan control
Hello,
Until this week I was using Windows for gaming. However since it won't recognise any HDMI screen I switched to linux gaming.
So far, everything I heard was true. We can play on Linux !
There is, however, one small "issue" that I have. I have a MSI laptop (GF65 Thin 10UE) and until now I managed the fans with Dragon Center when gaming. With Linux I don't seem to have that possibility, which leads to overheating issues.
Is there any tool suited to manage fans on MSI, since isw doesn't seem to be compatible with my particular model...
That might be true...
I found a solution, I compiled the program on my Arch distro and installed it on Nobara. But it couldn't read anything since the ec_sys module was missing so I sorta just gave up.
Sorry for the late reply, I'm not on Lemmy often.
It seems that, according to a Reddit thread, the Nobara kernel should include support for
ec_sys. What does the commandmodinfo ec_sysoutput? If it doesn't returnmodinfo: ERROR: Module ec_sys not found., then you should just be able to enable it withsudo modprobe ec_sysand then enable it persistently across reboots withecho ec_sys | sudo tee -a /etc/modulesEDIT: Replaced output redirection with
sudo teein case you are not running the command as root.Thank you for your answer. I also read that thread but unfortunately modinfo return module not found...
