Has anyone had success in controlling their PWM fans from within Linux?
I am using Ubuntu 14, but can't do this. It is most likely due to my hardware configuration. I don't have my fans wired directly to the motherboard. I have my fans wired to a Corsair H100i CPU cooler instead.
Controlling fans with Linux software is sometimes accomplished with these packages (at least in Ubuntu).
lm-sensors
fancontrol
Are there any particular vendors of motherboards that allow for software control of fan speeds from within the OS?
Or are hardware based PWM controllers for case fans preferred?
