Asus ventilation speed

Hi @horvjoe ,

Did you tried the following…

:hammer_and_wrench: Step 1: Install other LTS kernels

Install kernel 5.15 and 6.1 — these may support your laptop better:

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux515 linux61

After installing, reboot your system and try booting with one of the new kernels.


:puzzle_piece: Step 2: Check if the ASUS fan control module is loaded

After booting, check if the asus_nb_wmi kernel module (used for ASUS-specific ACPI features like fan control) is active:

lsmod | grep asus

If you see something like asus_nb_wmi, it means the module is loaded.


:wrench: Step 3: Load the module manually (if needed)

If asus_nb_wmi is not listed, try loading it manually:

sudo modprobe asus_nb_wmi

You can then verify again with:

lsmod | grep asus

:memo: Step 4: Check system logs for ASUS hardware messages

After loading the module, it’s helpful to check kernel messages:

dmesg | grep asus

This can show you if the module initialized properly or if there are errors.
