Talk:Fan control scripts

Wyrfel, are you sure the recent (19:54, 27 Oct 2005) cosmetic change was a good idea? The extensive chunks of code make it hard to grok the structure of the article in the absense of separator lines (which "===" doesn't have). --Thinker 22:10, 27 Oct 2005 (CEST)

We can discuss this. From my point of view, the chunks of code distinguish themselves from each other quite well, because they are each in one code block.

I do not like the = section level - and so far we avoided them on all pages - because

• it generates H1 headings, which is the same as the page heading,
• having more than one level with the hbars is confusing/less readable, because they are not very well distinguishable. This way i.e. the "Other" section looked like a separate empty secion.

I think the way it's now, the separator lines make it possible to easily distinguish the different main sections, while when you have both levels with separator lines, an additional task of distinguishing H1 and H2 separators is necessary.

However, i see your point as well and would like to hear more opinions/arguments.

bash script with fine control over fan speed (for unpatched kernels)

Moved to the article page, after joint development by Spiney and Thinker.

Note that the fan levels, thresholds and anti-pulsing hacks are system-specific, so you may need to adjust them.

I think it'd probably be nice to have a table of the suggested values here. Those in the "unpatched kernels" script seems to work fine on my R52, but the other scripts all have different values.
