Package: fancontrol Priority: optional Version: 0.70-1 Source: lm_sensors Architecture: all Maintainer: Paul A. Whittaker Section: Utilities Destination: any Depends: initscript, busybox (>= 1.14.3-1) Recommends: sensors Description: Userspace PWM fan management daemon Uses kernel hardware monitoring drivers to continually adjust the speed of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM, 4-wire) CPU and/or case fans in accordance with current temperature sensor values. . In most cases the BIOS can do this instead, but some BIOSes do a poor job of it, or are too rigid in their configuration (e.g. use an initial fan speed that is already much too high). . Requires careful tuning. . This version has been extensively modified for DIET-PC (upstream version requires Bash).
