2015-12-31 03:31:20 Degru description Computer: Dell Inspiron 15 3521, no dedicated GPU, right fan only. Running Ubuntu 14.04.3. i8kutils installed from Ubuntu repo. i8kmon.conf is attached. I'm trying to make my computer completely silent, and I've noticed that i8kmon doesn't always obey the temperature thresholds I set. I only want the fan to turn on when the CPU gets above 70 C, and go into full speed when it gets above 80C. I think I have the thresholds set up correctly for this. What I've noticed is that occasionally it doesn't follow the config file and turns the fan on at 53 C, or 55 C, or even 60 C. Basically, it starts turning on the fan when it gets to a random temperature anywhere between 50 C and 60 C. Restarting the i8kmon service seems to fix the problem, but it's still very annoying. Perhaps it's something wrong with my config? Computer: Dell Inspiron 15 3521, no dedicated GPU, right fan only. Running Ubuntu 14.04.3. i8kutils installed from Ubuntu repo. i8kmon.conf is attached.
