Anyway, I would give anything to have a Dell EC auto fan control off option build into HwInfo. I see the concerns about having a direct access EC write option in GUI, though it could be disabled via two time warning obviously. Would this be possible to implement in HwInfo? How far implemented is the EC/SMM driver for Dell Laptops in HwInfo? I found these two implementations, one SMM Windows driver port, which is based on the Linux i8k driver or something I think? But it fails to load for the 9570Īnd this one which basically also uses the same registers Found some information on the web, that there is a way to set a register at least for 9550/9560 deactivating the EC fan control Sending values to the fans works with HwInfo, but the EC overwrites them immediately again. I wonder if it would be possible to implement a write to / dump EC register mechanism into HwInfo? I am actually trying to find a way to deactivate EC fan control and let HwInfo control the fans, for the Dell XPS 15 9570.
