I am wondering if anybody know of any fan controller for linux like "speed fan" for Win? Cause I don't think the fan are running at all.

I got a ASUS Z71V

Thanks in advance

Basing my response on my ubuntu system on my Dell Centrino, Are you running powernowd or cpufreq? these 2 control the speed stepping, therefore the heating issues, therefore the fan. My fan runs like a charm, but only on startup after a reboot and, probably like yourself I was concerned that my fan never seemed to work. It does when its required thanks to cpufreq.

I am not to sure if there is any fan control appz out there, but there could be something in the gdesklets package (??), going off my memory, have you tried a search in Synaptec( assuming Ubuntu as I mentioned)??
