Hi Guys ! It's been a long time and I still enjoy this hack of mine.
@blazinsmokey there's in not a single day nor me or this laptop think about you, I hope you are safe and sounds in this crazy times.
Just wanted to pop out here because I just seen this, and it's really good news: FAN CONTROL FOR DELL LAPTOPS!!!
github.com
Now apparently fan control is possible, you can install this kext by compiling the latest VirtualSMC or download the one attached here and report.
The only thing that annoyed the hell outta me was these uncontrollable noisy fans, now I enjoy even more this laptop!
All the best, take care and most of all be safe!
EDIT#2: I tested it, FAN CONTROL DO WORKS but not via HWMonitorSMC2 (monitoring temp and fan speed only).
You can use Exirion (free) as mentioned in Acidanthera thread to manual set up fan speed:
You also have to install these 2 kexts: SMCSuperIO.kext and SMCProcessor.kext to make this work and retrieve temp reading.
Note: I let the Bios control and set it to automatic, but you can manually setup max fan speed with it if you need.
Just be caution so the fan ventilation is enough not to overheat the CPU.
