toshiba laptop fan at max even at IDLE

[hd77]

hello,

here are the things :

obsdfreqd -T 60.60 -S hw.sensors.acpithinkpad0.temp0


# sysctl hw.sensors
hw.sensors.cpu0.frequency0=2000000000.00 Hz
hw.sensors.cpu1.frequency0=2000000000.00 Hz
hw.sensors.cpu2.frequency0=2000000000.00 Hz
hw.sensors.cpu3.frequency0=2000000000.00 Hz
hw.sensors.acpiac0.indicator0=On (power supply)
hw.sensors.acpibtn1.indicator0=On (lid open)
hw.sensors.acpitz0.temp0=58.10 degC (zone temperature)
hw.sensors.km0.temp0=58.88 degC

I dont understand, even with obsdfreqd in action, why the fan hurries up at max even under 60°C

i tried with apmd, with obsdfreqd, but fan is always in intensive race... any idea pls? thx!

I can't help you with fan speed, but I noticed two things you may want to correct:

The -T option should be followed by a single temperature value, per the obsdfreqd(1) man page.

-S hw.sensors.acpithinkpad0.temp0

Your hw.sensors output does not include this sensor. When -S is used, it should refer to an available sensor.

Yep sorry i forgotten to update text before posted it, but even with :

obsdfreqd -T 60.60 -S hw.sensors.acpitz0.temp0
obsdfreqd -T 60.60 -S hw.sensors.km0.temp0

fan still at huge speed, while on others computers it's totally quiet. I dont understand.

I precise i followed :

Your `-T` option still appears to be invalid.

Per the man page, seems -T may have changed, interesting.

I use "-T 70,60", where 70 use to be for "plugged in" and 60 would be max if "on battery". Maybe a hidden option

Anyway as jggimi said, your '-T' option does not look right. Check the man or compare what you have to what I noted above.
