Both programs should "probably" work with Dell laptops released in 2020 or earlier (Intel 10th-gen CPUs or older). They changed the fan interface with 2021 / 11th-gen systems.
To my knowledge there are only two ways to do this right now.
Dell Fan Management, a tool written by me for managing Dell laptop fans. I have largely abandoned work on it because Dell changed how fan control works starting with their 2021 systems, so manual control is either impossible or no...
I've done some PowerShell mucking around this area before, but my comfort level with the syntax isn't the greatest.
> Get-WmiObject -Namespace root/wmi -Class BFn
...This gets us to the ACPI WMI object.

I don't have any C++ code, unfortunately, I'm very much a .NET guy :-\
I can point you specifically to the WMI code (that you have probably found already) here, lines 393-450. It's basically a matter of locating the ACPI WMI object and then invoking a method against it (the parameters are...
Hi @Martin, I just noticed this thread. I am author of Dell Fan Management and I would be happy to pass along any information to help with this implementation. I did a lot of slinking around Dell's libsmbios C code (for Linux SMBIOS support), a lot of BIOS token/variable dumps, and some...
Typically, HWiNFO64 can show a block of sensor data from the "embedded controller" in Dell laptops, including temperature and fan speed values.
In at least some of Dell's new Tiger Lake Precision mobile workstation line, the EC data cannot be read (HWiNFO64 does not show the EC data). I have a...
