For some unknown reason, my laptop fan stays on consistently. Even when I'm using less than 2% CPU and the air coming out of the vent is seemingly cooler than the air in the room, the fan always stays on the highest setting, which is both loud and presumably bad for the fan. Is there some configuration file that can be edited to make the fan only run at a certain CPU usage, internal temperature, or something else?
Linux fan control?
