Force pwm fans to run at full speed (level full-speed)

Open ghost opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Without this patch, fan1 could be controlled as a tp_fan and was able to run at its full speed (~5000 RPM) by setting the level to "level full-speed".

After applying the patch, the fans are seen as pwm fans and their maximum value is 255, which corresponds to ~4500 RPM.

Is there a way to either use the fans as tp_fans instead of pwm or somehow force their speed over their level 255?

for now you can force full speed by writing 0 to pwm*_enable. but then you have to write 0 to pwm*_enable to set lower speed via pwm*.
