hpuser said:Hi Martin,
After returning from sleep mode, the fan control returns to bios values. I have to read the sensor again to retreived my own setting. This applies to my HP 2540p (smsc emc2113).
Any ideas of this issue?
All the best
Martin said:After waking up from sleep you'll need to rerun HWiNFO, because during wake-up from stand-by mode, the BIOS reinitializes the fan control.
Martin said:Yes, HWiNFO is trying to reinitialize the fan control after resume, however according to your reports it doesn't seem to work always.
I'll check if there's anything more I can do...
Which operating system do you have?
Martin said:Please run HWiNFO in Debug Mode, have an active fan control running, then make the Suspend/Resume cycle.
After resuming when you see that the custom fan control is not active, please close HWiNFO and attach/send the DBG file which was created.
I'll analyse it.

My CPU fan has about 7 speeds but HWiNFO shows only 3. When I monitor the cpu fan speed in normal use without the fan control feature enabled, I see that the fan is much finer controlled with steps of about 200 RPM.
I can choose between 0, 3300 and 5100 RPM. Theoretical there should be no limit on the fan speeds since the fan in controlled by a PWM.
Please, could you look into this? I would like to set my fan speed to about 1500 RPM so it would be really quiet.
Martin said:I suppose you have a DELL notebook, correct?
For those notebooks the DELL interface allows only those 3 speeds to be set by (host) applications. Internally the controller (EC) can set any speed, but I'm not aware of an interface which would allow to command the EC to set other fan speeds.
