Hey guys,
This is so cool. I think this is why everyone who switches to Linux loves it—people actually help each other out.
Anyway, I found out that my laptop’s fan controls aren’t connected to the sensors. Instead, they depend on the system load, so it’s all software-based triggers, not hardware.
I ended up turning on "intelligent cooling mode" in the BIOS/UEFI settings to sort it out.
Thanks a ton for the help!
