Description-en: utility to control the fan speed
Lm-sensors is a hardware health monitoring package for Linux. It allows you
to access information from temperature, voltage, and fan speed sensors. It
works with most newer systems.
.
This package contains a daemon that calculates fan speeds from temperatures
and sets the corresponding PWM outputs to the computed values. This is
useful when this feature is not provided by the BIOS or ACPI, which should
normally be the case on a laptop.
