Welcome to the community-driven asus-fan-control wiki!

Full Usage

Once you have installed the asus-fan-control program you have a few argument to run the command:

  • sudo asus-fan-control get-temps : this will show the temperature that are currently active; if you want to see the default ones for your model see model-info

  • sudo asus-fan-control set-temps : this allow you to set your own temperature (use with caution: if you put temperature to high you may damage your system), arguments: default use the default temperature (see model-info), custom temperature ex : 55 60 62 65 68 72 76 80.

  • sudo asus-fan-control model-info : this will show: the model of the ASUS laptop, the fan address, the default temperature, if that model is tested or not.

  • asus-fan-control about : if you run this program it will print: the version currently installed, a short description of what the program does, the copyright, and the link to the GitHub project page.

  • asus-fan-control help : show a help screen.

Troubleshooting

If you see that the fan won't go faster:

  • Try a more aggressive temperature: example sudo asus-fan-control set-temps 40 45 50 55 59 63 65 67.

The temperature won't go down:

  • Try a more aggressive temperature: example sudo asus-fan-control set-temps 40 45 50 55 59 63 65 67;

  • Clear the laptop fan: it might seems stupid, in my case just cleaning the fan allow the temperature to be 20°C less (from 94 with thermal throttling, to 70 under full load)
