thank you, yes sound and mpp was already mentioned. Sorry.

My fan is louder (vibrations) when running quarder or half the speed than at fullspeed. So tux's fanctl is not for me, but I like his work, max temp 58°C was just what I asked myself.

Hello hunderteins,
It could be related with so other problems,
test the kernel I put above, it works ok, for me..

What is the Fan you are using?
current consumption, CFM values,dimentions( WxLxH)

You can always edit fanctl parameters, with:

Code:

vi /usr/sbin/fanctl

I decided to use Lua, (which can be compiled, but doesn't need to, and its fast with lower footprint ), precisely because it can be easily tuned.

You can tune it, to your Active cooling setup 
You can lower the values, if you own a fan with bigger CFM specs, and probably with bigger size.

Between 39C and 60C, it has a function, that can be adapted to your needs.
Also it could be that your fan needs more power to start, it can be tuned too.

Some days ago, I brought a new fan, and I thought that it could be better solution, but I ended up, with inicial setup, because of vibration...
Temps were really good, it could drop them for less than 45C, at full throttle, on all cores!
But then, I was feeling like I was flying a jet air plain and vibrations were high..

The big thing here is that the silicone pads that come with heatsink, are really good for mechanical stability, they in fact improve a lot the situation..
If not,  at long term... the CPU could endup with its balls grid array stalled, and oxidation behind them..creating bad contacts, and in a BGA case, this cannot be solved without proper soldering solution..
So its all depends ...

But happens that this conversation gave me the ideia of creating 2 profiles..
One for 20mm tall fan, and one for 10mm tall. 
With a one point, set location,
so that it could easily change profiles and response curves..
will be in my next todo list..
