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…
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 command modinfo ec_sys output? If it doesn’t return modinfo: ERROR: Module ec_sys not found., then you should just be able to enable it with sudo modprobe ec_sys and then enable it persistently across reboots with echo ec_sys | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
EDIT: Replaced output redirection with sudo tee in case you are not running the command as root.
