With patches pending to cros_ec, support for custom fan curves is being introduced.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Wei\u00dfschuh who has worked on many hardware monitoring and platform driver improvements for Linux has recently taken to working on custom fan curves support for the cros_ec driver. Patches posted recently allow for both reading and writing of fan curves used by the CrOS embedded controller on capable laptops.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=framework-16-ryzen-ai-300-series&#038;image=framework_16_12_med\" alt=\"Framework Laptop 16\"\/><\/p>\n<p>To avoid situations of overheating or any thermal damage, the patches only allow for writing fan curves that are more aggressive than the current fan curves used by default on a given laptop with the Chrome OS embedded controller.<\/p>\n<p>The patches are currently out for review on the mailing list. It looks like some changes to the patches are still going to be needed but hopefully a revised form of them will manage to reach the mainline Linux kernel in the not too distant future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/CrOS-EC-Custom-Fan-Cuves\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linux&#8217;s CrOS EC Driver To Support Custom Fan Curves &#8211; Useful For Framework Laptops https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/CrOS-EC-Custom-Fan-Cuves&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":269271,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=framework-16-ryzen-ai-300-series&image=framework_16_12","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-269270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269270"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269270"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":269272,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269270\/revisions\/269272"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
