The first thing I did was to perform a quick search for the Nuvoton chip in our motherboard. As easy as googling "nct6779d linux"
I found this: https://github.com/killghost/nct6775
Then I checked the entries in /lib/modules/6.12.8-201.fsync.fc41.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hwmon/
And there were nct6775.ko.xz, nct6775-core.ko.xz and nct6775-i2c.ko.xz.
So I've tried:
Code:
sudo modprobe -v nct6775
Code:
insmod /lib/modules/6.12.8-201.fsync.fc41.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hwmon-vid.ko.xz insmod /lib/modules/6.12.8-201.fsync.fc41.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hwmon/nct6775-core.ko.xz insmod /lib/modules/6.12.8-201.fsync.fc41.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hwmon/nct6775.ko.xz
Code:
sensors
So I added nct6775 to the modules to load on boot:
Code:
sudo echo nct6775 | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/nct6775.conf
Now that the reported info was nice, I installed a nice app to control the fan speeds (there are installation options for most distros): https://gitlab.com/coolercontrol/coolercontrol
This app allows defining some modes and profiles. So you can control fan speed, or even LEDs lightning setup in the motherboard. Now I have a silent PC during nights. I found profile and function management a bit complex, tho. But still, it works.
