I use a Darter Pro 11 and even if the machine is just sitting there idle the fan keeps turning on after about 20 seconds, then runs for a few seconds and turns off. What confuses me is that all the temperatures that I can see in psensor are low. The highest was one CPU going up to 56C, most other values have a high in the low 50s C or even in the 40s C.
System 76 fan info System Fan Noise and Expectactions - System76 Support psensor is available for Manjaro Seems all their tools are in PopOS My Thelio the fans run all the time, but it’s still pretty quiet and everything is cool.
Yeah, I had read that. Specifically, it says that fans should stay off until temperature reaches 65C. That’s what I find confusing…
