This has probably been discussed in here, but my search isn't finding it (I suspect I don't know enough to ask the right question).
Alienware 17R3.
I installed HWINFO64 a week or so ago. It was, I suspect, an older version. But, I figured out a couple sensors and got it to work. For the CPU I was able to specify fan speeds at different temperatures, so it went from 1000 rpm to 5000 as the temps went up. This morning, it updated to the current version, which appears to be 6.1.2. When I went in to check the fan speeds it told me I could ONLY use 0, 2500 and 5200.
The CPU sensor I'm using is ACPI: Alienware 17R3, and it says it's "CPU"
There's another sensor named Alienware 0GH72M (Intel PCH) that says its "PCH Temperature"
And a third that says DELL EC: Alienware 17R3 that has both CPU and GPU
Is there a preference for which one (or ones) I use?
Should I turn OFF the EC Support on this laptop? Currently it's OFF.
Is there anything else I should know as I go forward?
