M15x and M17x-R2 Fan Control

This is EXPERIMENTAL Fan Control.











I have added fan control for M15x, M17x-R1 and M17x-R2 into HWiNFO32:

- Only Manual fan control avaialble (I don't know how to change the temperature->fan Look-Up Table yet and if it's possible at all).

- Currently you can only choose between 4 levels of fan speed: off, low, medium, high = 0, ~2000, ~3800, . Update: 5000 RPM doesn't seem to be accepted by EC.

- It is currently not possible to turn-off the BIOS automatic fan control, so only a workaround is available (after setting a desired speed, HWiNFO32 watches constantly the actual fan speeds and if BIOS overrides them, HWiNFO32 will set the desired speed back)

UPDATE: Build 1169 adds M17x-R1 Fan Control support



How to activate:

1. Download this build of HWiNFO32 which adds this feature: . Or PM me if you need directions.

2. Run and open Sensors



4. A new dialog will be opened if you have a supported notebook model



Please report how it works.
