Hello,
I have a problem with the cooling situation with my hp omen 17 laptop. Under heavy load the fan never reaches max speed until the temperature of the CPU (intel i5-8300H)reaches 95 C and more and does not get lower… Here’s my sensors
output:
iwlwifi_1-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +67.0°C
pch_cannonlake-virtual-0

I am no specialist, but it seems to me this may be a problem of the “high” and “critical” values of the coretemp-isa-0000 sensor: both the “high” and “crit” values are set to 100 C. I don’t know if this is the problem and how to fix it. I suspect this may be the issue, because the fans do change speed but do not seem to respond adequately to high loads.
My fans don’t seem to be pwm-capable, or at least not recognised, if that will help you. pwmconfig
output:
# pwmconfig version 3.6.0+git
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.
We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.
/usr/bin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
I’d be really happy if I get some help on this issue.
