@peter-biely, I'll recheck during this weekend. In the meantime, as I previously indicated, I tried 16.10, and unfortunately: problem persists. fans keep spinning even when idle.
I have also tried i8kutils while on 16.10, and find that it works fine. - turns off fans properly according to config threshholds - turns on proper fan speed according to proper threshhold - when daemon is turned off at idle, BIOS automatically kicks in and runs the fans and I've also tried i8kutils on my working system (16.04) and it works alright - the difference I notice is that BIOS doesn't seem to automatically turn on fans when I turn off i8kmon ( unlike in 16.10 ), however I tested the BIOS' ability to run the fans by running a heavy task and it does start the fans at some point * this is the only observeable difference I see between i8kutils on 16.10 vs 16.04 as observed in other posts, despite this solution via i8kutils, windows is still able to better optimize idle state on skylake. in the meantime, i8kutils is nice to have, battery improved from ~3.5 to ~3.75 on my typical load: 2 ides, 1 container + additional services. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602888 Title: Dell Inspiron 7559 fans do not shut off once started, even when cool To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1602888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
