Alienware Fan Control Script for Ubuntu

AW_fan_control.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Script to turn on fans, tested only for dell alienware 15 laptop
# Works on Ubuntu 18.04, causes issues with other drivers on earlier verisons
# Requires i8kutils, lm_sensors and fancontrol packages

sudo modprobe dell-smm-hwmon force=1
sudo pwmconfig

It can not control the RPM smoothly. Fans work on maximum power while pwm value at 200 above. But the Fans work much less slowly under 200. It seems some intermediate levels are sikpped.

This is an issue, I was facing too, I am not sure how to fix it though, so I just set it to max at all times.

hello is there support for arch Linux and dose it work on the Alienware m15 r2

I haven't tried it on arch so I am not so sure, but if you can the packages and the drivers it may work good luck :)

I did the two commands and then the questions on my Alienware m17R4 from 2012 and it worked fine.

Thanks! Works as well at Alienware m15 Ryzen Edition R5, ubuntu 21.10, 5.15.1-051501-generic

Thanks, it works as well on my Alienware m15-Ryzen-Edition-R5 with Ubuntu20.04, 5-13.0-30-generic
