Clevo fan control alternatives

[Álvaro]

Does anyone use a fan control tool aside of Hotkey with clevo laptops? I've found it quite limited, especially on the fact that the custom setting does not allow to set a fan curve and caps at 80%; I'd like to be able to set a fan curve which caps at 100% if the temps reach 70ºC or higher. Is not really pressing as I can just FN+1 it, but I would like to automate it.

ditto this.

Haven't used it myself but heard speedfan may be able to control fans?

I tried it, but it doesn't allow me to. I managed to call PCS and they told me that, at least in my model, Clevo locks the fans via the BIOS, so I'm bound to FN+1 them. Fans are defo cheaper than my graphics card or my CPU, and probably easier to swap.

Swapping the fans wouldn't enable control if they're locked out in the bios.

I think Alvaro was referring to the fans being cheaper to replace, after burning them out with fn+1(100% fan), as opposed to frying the CPU or GPU ; )
