NBFC is a cross-platform fan control service for notebooks. It comes with a powerful configuration system, which allows to adjust it to many different notebook models.
First you have to clone the latest revision of this repo:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc.git
Make sure these packages are installed on your machine:
To build the solution, run the build.ps1 script (which is included in the cloned repo) via Windows Powershell.
If the build was successful there should be a setup file (NbfcBootstrapper.exe) at nbfc\Windows\Setup\NbfcBootstrapper\bin\Release\.
Just start it and follow the instructions :)
Linux support is still experimental!
If mono is not available on your machine, install the complete package:
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
To build the solution, run the build.sh script (which is included in the cloned repo).
The result can be found at nbfc/Linux/bin/ReleaseLinux
If everything worked well, you may want to start the service: sudo start-nbfcservice.sh
You can control it via nbfc.exe, e.g. mono nbfc.exe config --apply 'Name of the config' to load a config, mono nbfc.exe start to start the service and mono nbfc.exe set --auto to start automatic fan control.
To learn more about nbfc.exe use mono nbfc.exe --help.
Finally, to stop the serivce use sudo stop-nbfcservice.sh.
Have fun :)
