Can't set fan speed using ioio

Open iXPert12 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hello. I'm trying to write a script to manually set fan speed, something like thinkfan on linux. So far i tried using ioio like this:

ioio -s ThinkVPC FanLevel 5

But the fan speed doesn't change. I'm using a Thinkpad T430. Could you please guide me which command to use?

My issue is that the fan never goes full mode, even if the processor heats up to 95 C, and i have to set fan speed manually to full mode using YogaSMCNC

If it behaves the same without the kext, I suppose it's a firmware issue. There should be a few T430 users and I'm not aware of the issue.

For ioio, please use FanSpeed as the keyword. Acceptable values are 0-7, 0x47 and 0x84.
