[gentoo-user] Fan Speed

Hi!

I've searched for it for quiet some time and found nothing so I guess my 
chances are pretty bad.

Anyway, is there a tool that is comparable to SpeedFan for Windows? Something 
that lets me control the speed of my CPU fan? 

Thanks in advance!

Don't know what SpeedFan does but fancontrol is part of lm_sensors.  Check man 
fan_control.  To kick it in, add it to your rc-update scripts:  rc-update -a 
fancontrol, but would be a good idea to have sorted out its configuration 
first.  Also, you may need to have switched fan control off in your BIOS.

Of course if your MoBo is not recognised by lm_sensors (mine isn't) then I 
don't know if there's anything else you can do.
