MSI 865 MEGA fan trouble...

-=TRA=- · 01-13-2006, 11:44 PM

I have an MSI 865 Mega; It's a "living room" computer, and the only computer my wife would accept (since it looks more or less like a stereo) by the TV.

When I used Windows, it was noicefree - even on boot the first time without any drivers.

On Linux, the FAN is on "critical" mode - ALLWAYS...

I have lm_sensors - but I can't make it "allright"... Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Try adding this to rc.local:

Code:

                # Set the trip point temperatures (in Celsius)
                echo -n "100:0:90:80:58" > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
            
                # Activate the temperature control system of the kernel
                echo -n "30" > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/polling_frequency
            
                # Turn off the fan
                echo -n "3" > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN0/state

Works for me, not sure about yours and the way your kernel/ACPI is setup.

i had that very same problem.
solved it by downgrading the BIOS version to version 1.1...
