Here is my lm-sensors output: acpitz-virtual-0Ĭore 0: +48.0☌ (high = +105.0☌, crit = +105.0☌)Ĭore 1: +48.0☌ (high = +105.0☌, crit = +105.0☌)Īnother reviewer of this exact model expressed concern over the fan not working as he couldn't detect a fan nor hear the fan: The temperature continues to get hotter, but I can't hear a fan. I'm worried that using Ubuntu will destroy my netbook. The netbook is a brand new Toshiba Satellite NB10-A. Lm-sensors does not detect a fan, I can't hear a fan, and can't feel air blowing out of the fan area. It won't harm your hardware, but if you suddenly find your SickleFlows being displayed as spinning twice as fast as they should be, that's why.I just bought a brand new netbook and am worried the fan isn't working properly. Note though that the fan's speed may be displayed incorrectly because in a splitter the tachometer pins from both fans either get merged or only one of both is used. If your 4-pin header can vary its voltage if a non-PWM fan is connected it'll work too. The splitter will help you if the 3-pin header is controlled by CPU temperature and you use the splitter on that. So if that spliter doesn't help me, what does? (can you link me pls? )Īnd why are pwm fans so expsnsive? -.- (almost $20 for 2 fans) I get that it will not work like a pwm fans because they are not pwm fans.Ĭurrently I can only change the speed of one fan (if I place it in the 3-pin header) but I need both for the noise reduction.

both fans are on the 4-pin header, although these fans are not pwm fans. I don't have anything connected to the 3-pin. that 3-pin's speed can be changed (I think) but it would only change the speed of one fan.
