So I could simply make this settings file myself and set up a min speed of 200 RPM for the CPU fan. Pwmconfig is "just" a helper to create the fancontrol settings file. I also tried to install mbpfan: But it is meant for macbooks and not for imacs, with the result that only one sensor seems to be taken into account, then all fan speed are raised simultaneously, which is not helping in my case (see ) What I think could work but not sure how I tried to follow the steps described here: How to control fan speed?, so basically set up lm-sensors, then set up fancontrol with the help of pwmconfig But pwmconfig answers: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed Even after adding the module applesmc to /etc/modules and rebooting, no chance. This is annoying because I think with a fix speed set to 2000 RPM for example, the temp would stabilise at an acceptable temperature, hopefully below 90☌, while the noise would still be acceptable. This do lower the temp of these 2 sensors, until aournd 80☌, but this is not cool enough to reduce the fan speed. This fan gradually accelerate until its max, 3600 RPM, which makes the imac very loud. Here is a screenshot of psensor: psensor screenshotīasically, 2 sensors, TD0D and temp1 see an increase in temperature until reaching 105☌, which triggers the increase of the CPU fan speed. While it runs smoothly for all I need to do, 20 minutes after starting the CPU fan starts to get super loud.

I switched an old Imac (2008) to Lubuntu.
