Powerspec G717: AIO Cooling control from Linux
in PowerSpec
Hello:
Has anyone installed Ubuntu linux on a G717? It looks physically like the fans are moving but I smell burning when using Linux so I stopped doing it. I thought it was controlled from the motherboard.

-
It is. The OS has no impact unless you're installing software to alter the fan behavior.
-
The motherboard seems to require support from Microsoft Windows to set fan speeds. when I run with Linux that control is not being provided
-
It doesn't, unless something in the OS is overriding fan control. You check the Hardware Monitor tool in the BIOS and play with the curves.
