crap.

Code:

[cylnz@g74sx ~]$ sudo pwmconfig
[sudo] password for cylnz: 
# pwmconfig revision 5857 (2010-08-22)
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.

We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.

/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no fan-capable sensor modules installed
[cylnz@g74sx ~]$ 

is NOT what I wanted to see....

 

3 fans on the g74sx

 

looks like they're using a wmi interface instead of individual sensors. I'm guessing that means it's using windows app to software control the fans per the core temps on the cpu + gpu dies :/

Yeah, cuz windows manages hardware so well.... Remember winmodems ? bbbrrrrrrrrrr

 

yep, bottom line of lsmod output

asus_wmi module is running in the kernel and in use by asus_nb_wmi.

Fortunately, I'm sot really having temp problems, but I consider it part of setup to make sure I dont toast my hardware due to incomplete configs

 

Replace it for water cooling

 

heh, not using windows. I would love to be able to use some of the really excellent reporting tools linux has on a windows box. Being able to real-time monitor the kernel on a win7 system would be very educational.

Eh, lets talk about something phun instead of geek, lol

 

watercooled laptop?

 

Liquid nitrogen

 

The SotY poll closed so fast I didnt get to say Congrats in there, had to post it in the sotw chat

 

Oh, well in that case. have you got an extra system sitting around collecting dustbunnies?

Fedora 16 full install dvd is only a gig in size, in fact, you dont even have to install it, you can use the dvd as a -ro operating system with ram drives as the session storage.....

 

or would you rather grab a copy of android for x86 and play around with how to totally screw with cell phones?

It's unbelievable that the cell cos arent freaking out over a totally unlocked, source available gingerbread or icecream sandwich available to be hacked as a normal pc os.


http://www.android-x86.org/

 

Yes but it has no video

 

oh well. No, I personally do not need any more computers lol. I've spent years whittling down to just 3 laptops, an old xeon cube server and a 3120 dell 1u server acting as a WAP/gateway/dhcp server/fw.

Oh, and I still have my mythical TRS-80 modelIV commercial in the storage unit....

 

I'd like to have about 8 of these:

to play around building a cluster server
