Dear Stan,

Unfortuntately, my PC don't have an option to control fan speed in BIOS.
Just one option: "Fan always on on AC power". This machine run really
quietly. Is there anyway to check the fan speed from Linux?

Thank you
Hoang Le


If you have the option of putting temp/fan speed under BIOS control
