Thanks for the suggestion! It looks like my model hasn't been tested yet. I'm also not very technical so installing and using this software (especially on a live USB) seems like it'd be a bit tricky. Are you aware of any other similar programs?
Search on GitHub directly so something like: ASUS fan control
Also, just because your specific model isn't listed doesn't mean it won't work since many of them are similar. If you need a GUI, you may want to try one of the other suggestions instead, but in my experience, youll have more effective results with these GitHub projects that target ASUS laptops specifically.
I use LACT. My use case is just to adjust the fan curve to keep the fans constantly running, since I hate the sound of them starting and stopping all the time.
Software fan control?
Why not just set your fan curves in UEFI?
Or try Cooler Control.
Pretty sure power profiles are just for power/battery/CPU/APU/iGPU power use/limits. Perhaps kernel's governor settings even.
Why not just set your fan curves in UEFI?
That only really applies to custom built desktops. Almost no oem machines give you any real options in the bios. Outside of maybe gaming laptops.
Oh dam. 🫠.
