Hi i wanted to control Lenovo g585 fan speed but nothing worked my specs are: E1-1500 Apu with amd hd 7310 I hope it's possible to fix this problem

⬇️You can ignore this it's just a idea for new update

You can add on software overclock settings but for old CPUs too like my E1-1500 Apu there will be Silent, Gaming,Turbo,Custom idk if it's possible to make thanks for reaching my post 😄

It's just a little tweak on top of the x230 config already there but it might be useful for people facing the same issue as I did.

When I set the fan to a non 0 and non 128 value and then close the lid, the fan starts spinning up until I open the lid again. I looked up for which register was responsible for it and amended the config file accordingly.

Here is the xml :

I managed to get nbfc working on my laptop but after a few minutes it seems the system takes over and nbfc doesn't have anymore effect. When I disable and enable it again, it works again.

I noticed in the config options "register write configuration" you can select "OnWriteFanSpeed" or "OnInitiation"
maybe a 3rd option like "RepeatEveryTenSeconds" could do the trick.

Describe the bug
nbfc.service is enabled, but upon boot (3x now), it isn't starting due to this error:

Due to the host issue, I looked at /etc/hosts but don't know what would be awry. Other things like this (e.g. python jupyter lab which I use almost daily) work fine. Timing/systemd dependency issue around hostname vs. when nbfc tries to start?

$ cat /etc/hosts
# Static table lookup for hostnames.
# See hosts(5) for details.

127.0.0.1	localhost
::1		ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
127.0.1.1	vera.localdomain	vera

Now that I'm booted, no problem:

          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
# ...

Could this be just happening too early before e.g. resolve services are up and running?

I just added ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 60 to the service file and will report back if this helps.

So recenlty I've managed to stumble upon this great fork of yours :) And since you seem to be wanting to actually work on this project I'd like to ask for 2 things in future versions:

1. Add support for monitoring or even acting upon values from miscellanous fields decoded from EC. For example in my laptop I was able to decode multitude of fields related to CPU temperatures, GPU temperature, power mode, amperage etc. It would be great if NBFC could at least monitor those fields (with proper math conversions). Of course the better functionality would be to bind those custom fields as an input to a fan curve - but one step at a time.

2. It would be also great if I could for example switch presets corresponding to different EC register values from the taskbar. I have mainly power mode registers in mind here. Right now I need to either use OEM bloatware to change those or manually switch NBFC configs I've created with proper initalizer sequences to obtain that functionality. It is certainly doable, but it is not very user friendly.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Apologies if this is the wrong template.
This is a sincere question. As far as I can tell, my laptop already ramps up the fans when needed and stays quiet when not, just like every other laptop I've tried, save for the passively cooled ones. Even without the "gaming software" it came with.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Describe the bug
I was trying to uninstall the program because the configs weren't showing up and wanted to try and reinstall it, but for some reason I couldn't stop the service that's running in the background, which means I couldn't delete the files. I even tried restarting my laptop and the service automatically started up with my os, even though I did not select the option for the program to open on start.

To Reproduce
I personally first downloaded the old version of nbfc, which didn't work, then tried to install the newer version, opened the program up, saw it didn't work, so I tried closing it but it didn't let me.

Expected behavior
I expected the folder to be completely deleted, but it couldn't finish because the service was still running and I couldn't just forcefully stop it.

System information

• OS: Windows 10
• Version: 1.7.1
• Log files: NbfcServiceLog.txt

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

Tried 15-ec1xxx and 15-ec0xxx, no dice.

Fan noise is terrible, multi roach bounty for a new config. Super I/O Chip SCH5027D.

Describe the bug
The nbfcservice starts and stops every second or two. This happens with 1.6.3 and 1.7.0. I need to deactivate it in services otherwise uninstall is not possible because nbfcservice starts and stops so often.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior.

Expected behavior
the nbfcservice should run without restarting every second.

System information

I'm happy to help troubleshoot/debug, I'm a professional software developer (and have written some C#!) but am completely unfamiliar with the mono ecosystem on Linux.

I wanted to give something back since this program really saved my ass from hours and hours of annoyance with my noisy laptop :)

So here are some registers and tips for controlling HP Victus directly from it's EC:

• default values in FAN PWM registers are 0xFF - this will keep automatic controll enabled
• any other value will be treated as PWM percentage (effective range is from 20% up to 100%) it will override automatic laptop algorithm
• at any point you can write back 0xFF to restore automatic fan controll
• fans are independent
• 0x2C - left fan PWM, 0x2E - left fan RPM (in percentage, same as PWM)
• 0x2D - right fan PWM, 0x2F - right fan RPM
• there is a CPU temperature (Tctrl in C) register at 0x57, more temperatures are in higher registers (didn't bother to decode them all)
• 0x96 is battery charge percentage (not 100% sure about this, but seem very highly plausible, deviations were +-1% compared to system reporting, maybe it's an internal thing only)
• 0x95 is LAPTOP POWER MODE - no longer have to use OMEN hub for this (0x00 default, 0x01 max performance, 0x03 silent)
• 0xEC is a OMEN HUB fan switcher (0x00 normal fan mode, 0x0C/0x04 max fan mode) it will work only with 0xFF in FAN PWM registers
• 0x5F - touchpad disable, windows key disable (0x08 = touchpad disable, 0x10 = win key disable, 0x00 default) it works, but pressing disable key normally also modifies 0xA2 register
• 0xA0 - last special key pressed (works for brightness, volume, etc) only informational
• 0xBA - charger mode (0x00 unplugged, 0x02/0x03 change detection, 0x04 plugged)

Here is my config file. It makes sure whenever switching off NBFC controll to restore automatic fan curve. I suggest keeping that behaviour on - OTHERWISE YOU CAN FRY YOUR LAPTOP.

Expected behavior
Fan setpoint vs. actual aside (maybe something else causes that), I would expect nbfc to reliably set this fake thermal zone. It is not clear why it was working on last boot, but failed to do so upon startup.

I'm also unable to set manually (here's three times in succession, which are not changing the value.

I am opening this issue just to inform anyone who is using ASUS UX391U that I have tested the "Asus Zenbook UX310UAK" profile is working with UX391U. If you got an UX391U and cannot find the suitable profile for your laptop, just go with the UX310UAK profile.

It would be nice if anyone can copy the config of the UX310UAK and rename it to UX391U to make it more clear for the UX391U users. Thanks so much for the author's work :)

Thank you.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The maximum rate at which the fan speed increases when the target is raised should be adjustable, so that it can spin up more slowly. This should not apply to the critical threshold.

Describe the solution you'd like
Clicking the settings gear icon should provide a slider, dropdown, or number input to specify over how many seconds to ramp up the fan speed, or how many percent to increase per second.

It seems that nbfc does not support Windows 11 very well. After the installation is completed, the background service keeps starting and stopping, which causes the CPU usage to remain high, and the CPU temperature remains high. Can you fix it?

Describe the bug
When exiting from a high fixed speed, NBFC slowly spins down to the speed defined by Auto if the CPU temperature is high enough for the fan should continue spinning to some extent. If the CPU is cold enough for Auto to turn the fans completely off, then the fans shut off instantly when exiting fixed speed instead of slowly spinning down to zero.

To Reproduce

1. Load the CPU slightly to raise the temperature.
2. Turn up the fans for a short moment, then turn the fans back off.
3. Since the fans were not turned up long enough to significantly cool the CPU, it spins down slowly.
4. Turn up the fans for a while, and then turn the fans off again.
5. Since the fans were turned high for a longer time, the CPU will have been cooled lower, and the fans shut off instantly.

Expected behavior
No matter what the next target speed is defined by the Auto config, the fan speeds should always gradually spin down when exiting manual control. The only exception should be when disabling fan control service entirely.

System information

Additional context
HWiNFO64 7.15_4615 is installed, and although it is listed as incompatible with NoteBook FanControl, there have been no compatibility issues in practice, and all of the few errors with NBFC occur when HWiNFO is closed as well.

I have a ZBook Fury 15 G7 which has two fans. By default my fans do not come on at all in linux. I am trying to work with existing configs but getting mixed results. I can toggle one fan on by using the HP Zbook 15 profile and doing

nbfc set -f 0 -s 100

However, this config suggests that the read/write registers (for one fan, at least) are 0x46 and 0x47. That said, in trying to verify this, I ran the following:

sudo ec-probe monitor -c -i 1 -r ~/Desktop/ec-monitor.txt

I waited a bit, ran the command above to set the fan to 100 (using the HP Zbook 15 config), then waited a bit again and set it back to auto (which turns the fan completely off again):

nbfc set -f 0 -a

Plotting all registers yields the following:

I see no obvious register showing 0 -> 100 (which sounds pretty darn fast) -> 0. 2E is the inverse of what I'd have expected.

Here was a much longer run where I stressed the CPU and my temps went from ~50C to ~70C (which helped identify 2F as the temperature register, I think). If there is any fan being called for at all, I see no register correlated with the temp bump in the middle of the 2F register (edit: forgot to insert plot).

As an aside, I'm confused by the output of ec-probe dump vs. ec-probe monitor. Why does dump yield "systematic registers" (00-F0 in rows, 00-0F in columns) vs. the registers I find via monitor?

I like the idea of customizing how loud my laptop runs, but I sometimes forget that my fans are very high when shutting it down, or the fans are too low or off when doing something demanding. A fan curve similar to that of MSI Afterburner and other fan control programs would fix this. I could have my laptop run passively up to 50C, but kick the fan on when doing something demanding that goes above 50C.

I read the entire Wiki to configure my Aspire 5. But I'm not succeeding and I have some doubts.

How exactly can having the Super IO Datasheet help figure out which "address" to use? From what I saw on github the chip that controls the FAN is the ENE KB9022Q D, but there is only the datasheet of the ENE KB9012 which seems to be similar to me.

How should I use these files? What exactly should I look for?

my fan is simply unable to pass 60% even under heavy load with the temperature above 70°.

doing a dump using ec-probe doesn't seem like a solution for me because I have difficulty reading numbers even with "ec-probe.exe monitor --clearly"

0xA0: 32 ,00 0xB0: 33,34,56 0xB3: 31,32,34 0xB4: 2D,2E,30 0xC6: 21,1F 0xDA: 02,01,0A 0xDB: 09,00,11 0xDC: 00,3A,00 0xE3: 87,86,87 0xF1: 54,44,54

Would you have any tips to help me?

I tried use "nbfc.exe config --recommend" but none work, can help me to create a config for my model?

Describe the bug
Here is an excerpt from ec-probe monitor on my computer showing that the header row does not end in a comma, but the data rows do:

$ cat Desktop/ec-monitor.txt 
2E,2F,32,35,36,47,4A,4B,52,62,97,9D,9F,A5,A9,AB,AF,B8,D0,D3,D4,D9,DA,E0
FF,FF,30,FF,FF,39,16,F9,22,00,18,A1,AD,63,17,1A,03,00,4A,2A,21,EF,10,13,
FF,FF,38,FF,FF,39,16,F9,26,00,18,A2,AD,62,17,1B,03,00,4A,2A,21,FB,04,13,

It seems that the csv format may vary, but here is one specification which calls out:

Each record is located on a separate line, delimited by a line break (CRLF).

The data rows are deliminted by a final comma and then a line break.

I'm not sure what this document is, but here are some other applicable rules speaking to this:

The rules for [csv] data which it understands are as follows:

• Each row must have the same number of comma-separated fields.
• Adjacent commas, or a comma at the start or end of a line (whitespace apart) indicates a null field.
• The first line may be a header line containing column names rather than a row of data. Exactly the same syntactic rules are followed for such a row as for data rows.

The output generated by ec-probe monitor essentially creates an empty/extra null column by ending each data row with a comma. In python using pandas this causes the first column to be used as the data frame index, and the last register is populated with NaN values.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("ec-monitor-test.txt")

In R when trying to read in the file, you get the following, and must either add a comma to the end of the header row (yielding a "ghost" NA column) or delete the trailing commas from all data rows.

> read.csv('~/Desktop/ec-monitor-test.txt')
Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  : 
  duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed

To Reproduce
Collect data using ec-probe monitor -r path/to/file and the generated file will have improper comma delimiters which cause problems when subsequently reading the data in.

Expected behavior
The header row and data rows should have the same structure (i.e. field_0, field_1, ..., field_n). I think this was just an oversight, as the code removes the final comma from the header row, but not data rows.

Hello,

I would really need new profile for HP ZBOOK 17 G6. Laptop has two fans. NBFC was working OK until a few bios updates ago. now none profile works. It is either HP changed something or locked it. Is it still posible to control the fans on this laptop. Current bios is R92 Ver. 01.09.00, and for some reason rollback for bios is not working.

i tried creating my own config but the instructions aren't very clear and i don't understand most of it

First I'm no programmer of any kind but I love to tune my PCs for optimal performance.
After undervolting the CPU and Overclocking the GPU I want to set a more aggressive Fan tune or at least manually controll them.

But when I tried to use ec-probe or RWEverything I get a blank console screen or in the case of RW 0's all across.
So I cant get the needed values. So I opened some old files of my BIOS extract when I undervolted my CPU.
There I saw that for CPU Fan Speed it gives 0x39D (0x41 as 8 bit). But when I try to input the number I still get no reaction from my fans.

So I ask someone to add the model or help me do it.

Thanks in advance!

Should I update to this from stock NBFC if it works fine? Is it just adding support for newer laptops? Thanks

Hi,
i tried to make nfc work with my Laptop to compensate for it's bad fan control. Therefore i've tried like all config's for Asus Laptops but no Config worked.

So i tried to to get the read and writing registers for this Laptop with the EC probing tool. I've tried to change some of the offsets that i got from the ec probing tool but nothing worked. I hope sb. can help me with this.

These were some of the Readings i got:
EC-Readings.txt

I figuered out, that 0x0C was the temperature. It startet with no fan noise. Then with moderate prime95 the fan started spinning a little bit untill 0x0C at 37 then it went down again. After that and real stresstest with prime95 the temperature got up to like 85 to 90 degrees (0x0C = 45) and the fan ran at 100%. After that the fan slowly got slower until it stopped again at the End (0x0C = 24)

Sadly i wasn't able to figure out which one of the eh-registers was the read or write register ...

Describe the bug
When starting nbfc, selecting a profile (selfmade and fitting or prebuilt for other model) and selecting "Read-Only" or "Enabled" the radio button will repeatedly jump to "Disabled" and "Read-Only". No temperature is displayed (0°C). The service can't be uninstalled easily as it will continuouisly start and kill a process.

To Reproduce

• Install latest nbfc version
• Start nbfc
• Select any profile
• Click on "Read-Only"

Expected behavior

• Correct CPU temp is shown
• NBFC will run in desired mode and can control the fans in "Enabled" mode

System information

• Win10 19042
• 1.71
• Log:

Additional context
Using the 2021 Gigabyte Aero 17. Gigabyte Control Center etc. are disabled. Problem might be related to other "nbfc restart" issues

I tried probing the EC but the dump file was filled with 0 hex values so please help

Describe the bug
My computer just shut down due to an overheat event. I was puzzled by this, so after a fresh boot took a look at nbfc related things. I found two potentially relevant findings:

• nbfc status seems stuck at calling for a target of 40, but the actual speed stays at zero
• ec-probe dump is showing my acpi temp1, which is the "cheat" register, at 55C, not 28C which is usually the case when running nbfc

To Reproduce

• start nbfc service
• enable a config and start nbfc
• observe nbfc status, sensors, and ec-probe dump

Expected behavior

I was previously getting target speed and actual speed of 0. Now target seems stuck at 40%. Here is an example nbfc status output, and it has been like this for ~30min since boot:

$ nbfc status
Service enabled		: True
Read-only		: False
Selected config name	: HP ZBook Fury 15 G7
Temperature		: 57

Fan display name	: Right fan
Auto control enabled	: True
Critical mode enabled	: False
Current fan speed	: 0.00
Target fan speed	: 40.00

Fan display name	: Left Fan
Auto control enabled	: True
Critical mode enabled	: False
Current fan speed	: 0.00
Target fan speed	: 40.00
Fan speed steps		: 225

Sometimes one fan is kicking on. Here's another status output from the same boot session/time period:

$ nbfc status
Service enabled		: True
Read-only		: False
Selected config name	: HP ZBook Fury 15 G7
Temperature		: 59

Fan display name	: Right fan
Auto control enabled	: True
Critical mode enabled	: False
Current fan speed	: 42.67
Target fan speed	: 40.00
Fan speed steps		: 225

Fan display name	: Left Fan
Auto control enabled	: True
Critical mode enabled	: False
Current fan speed	: 0.00
Target fan speed	: 40.00
Fan speed steps		: 225

In addition, register 38 (0x26) is to be forced to 28C, but this appears not to be working.

$ sudo ec-probe write -v 0x26 28

Additional context
Everything was working. I have been bouncing between nbfc-linux and this; not sure if that could have mucked with anything under the hood? Perhaps a simple starting point would be: why isn't register 38 taking the 28C hack?

Hi, I am trying to create a config for ThinkBook 15 G2 ARE with Ryzen 4700U. I couldn't be able to find my EC by looking motherboard. I tried probing but I couldn't be able to change fan speed. I think I should activate manual control mode. How can I find a way to activate it? Is there a more detailed guide about how to create a config?

I have two different probing log, there were many register but I find only five of them are responding to temp and fan speed. The upper one is increasing fan speed & temp, the lower one is decreasing fan speed & temp.

Also, I found 0x10 is changing when I change profile using Lenovo Vantage. 00 for performance mode, 04 for battery saver, 20 for intelligent cooling. Unfortunately, it doesn't affect anything when I changed this register manually (However it stays the same as what I write, not go to the original value automatically)

Describe the bug
After installing and runing the service, it ends up with infinite cycle of Service crashing, starting again and crashing again.

Hi, i tried to gather as much information as i could about the Acer 5830TG but aren't enough to create a config file, i need help :((

I need to control the fan because:

• in Windows 10 21H2 it remains at the minimum speed no matter what the temperature of the cpu and gpu are

• instead in Windows 7 SP1 the fan speed probably works in the range of 0-50% of the maximum speed

so the computer always throttling after 20-30 minutes

What i've done so far:

• i took several photos of the motherboard, even though i wasn't able to find the embedded controller that controls the fan
• i think i've found the embedded controller in the DSDT
• i've monitored EC's registers (in Windows 7) during a GPU stress test, and i've found what register controls the actual fan speed ( 0xB4 ), even if it revert automatically to the auto mode after i change the value with RW-Everything, and i think it only works on Windows 7
• in Windows 10 the 0xB4 value is always 0

Can't I use NBFC? I wanted to make this laptop's fan speed always 100%.

I am truly sorry if this asking to much, but I have been fruitless trying to command my EC.

Razer appears to use a different EC for each year, and there are updates. I am on bios 1.06, and EC 1.1.1.2

I can identify the temperature bytes, at 86, and 88, but cannot find the fans.
the conversion from decimal to hex (using rweverything since I was taking so long to find any pattern at all, and ECprobe was running off the screen and breaking)
This is honestly a little over my head, and I would figuratively kill for a working config.

Appreciate any help, and happy to teamviewer or whatever needed if someone is willing to take the time to baby step me.

As of right now, the inbuilt 2014 razer config does not work, and crashes the service every second or so.
Thank you for any help with this.

Describe the bug
I own a pavilion gaming laptop 16, i was trying to make my config but everytime the program switches from read-only to disabled and viceversa after some seconds.

To Reproduce

• Download latest release of NBFC-Revive (When i wrote it, was 1.7.1)
• Try to use any config and see that the program will switch back.

Expected behavior
Working CPU temp sensor ( displays 0 degress celsius ).
Working fan control.

System information

• Windows 11 21H2 (build 22000.318)
• 1.7.1
• Log: https://ghostbin.com/6Pbk7

Additional context
No additional context apart my hardware:
i5 10300H
16 gb ddr4 dual-channel 3200 Mhz
GTX 1650Ti

It keeps changing between disabled and ready only. I saw a thread about it, and I tried replacing "OpenHardwareMonitorLib" as someone said but it didn't work. Can someone help me?

Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to add multiple fan control, or atleast treat them as a single one (But actually control both of them).

Additional context
I made a fork of this a year or so ago, for my thinkpad P1 gen2 but had major stability issues so i decided to not pursue it further due to lack of time. (I did manage to spin both fans up tho)

A good resource is https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/9e723c5380c6e14fb91a8b6950563d040674afdb/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c

if you implement a generalized solution for this this, many thanks as lenovos automatic fan control is absolute garbage.

I was unable to create a working config file, and none of the existing ones work (including G1 and G2). Thank you.

(insert weed joke here)

Been bashing my head against this for a bit too long, and with the UI being almost entirely blank, there seems to be no way to further diagnose it.

My UI is entirely blank

And I can't get it NOT to be. Uninstalled/reinstalled. Same thing. Traced the breadcrumb trail to this new fork, uninstalled the old one, installed this one. Same thing - nothing.

Logs? I've got logs!

This is 1.7.1 on Windows 10 x64 21h1 with a ThinkPad Edge E420. Just trying to find a way to get the fans to blast full speed, no throttle. It's been a bit frustrating trying to get this laptop to cool itself properly (keep the CPU under 80c and thermal-throttling).
