I have the same problem (on a Dell Precision 5530, with Debian unstable). It appears that the problem is related to the BIOS not actually giving up on directly controlling the fan speed. An undocumented call to disable the BIOS control of the fans was discovered and is available here: https://github.com/clopez/dellfan It would probably be nice to integrate this call in the dell-smm-hwmon module. |
