changing parameters of auto mode

[karolherbst]

This is something which interessted me for quite some time now, but never got time to look into it.

Do you think it is possible to adjust the parameters which are used by the EC to calculate the fan speed? I am more annoyed by the fact, that the EC turns on the fans quite fast with no reason (silent fans at 60°C would be no problem at all, because the CPU will get to 99°C under full load anyway).

It would be nice to be able to modify this instead of setting some values yourself, even an userspace/kernel daemon would be troublesome in case of kernel crashes or something.

No idea. Clevo doesn't publish the internals and I'm unable to find anything related by reverse-engineering ECView.dll. They seemed to have fan mode selection in very old models but not since two years ago (check their windows driver/utility), and it's not in ECView.dll which is more than 10 years old.

The pain is, that their fans are really loud. I have here another laptop with a i7-3610QM and the fans are able to keep the cpu full boosted and are less noisy than the clevo ones :/

Also I doubt that there will be anything in their tools, I think it will be either some constants somewhere in the EC regs or EC firmware. I think prema mod has two different EC version for different fan settings, maybe I can figure out something from there.
