RLECViewer: Custom Clevo Fan Control

Mostly NVIDIA marketing hype.

I could not care less about a Max-Q profile... I have no obligations with NVIDIA. The fan control software allows you to manually design your profiles, even the automatic ones:

@John@OBSIDIAN-PC
Any idea if this software can fix the issue on the N870HK1 where the CCC will keep dropping back to automatic a few minutes after setting max fan speed? You had mentioned in some earlier posts about the software sometimes loosing fan control and I am wondering if that's the same exact thing that's causing the problems with CCC

Also can your software and CCC work together because I use my laptop for work as well as gaming and want to be able to still access power saving mode while overriding the default fan settings ?

 

Hmmm, why do some av flag this file? https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/1...36dbcf701e1f18b8620cbb94cd3713775f1/detection

 

Hello everybody,

I have a Clevo W150HNM model and the fan is always on. I have already changed the thermal paste but it was not sufficient to make the fan works on lower speed. Then I found this tutorial about RLECViewer and OBSIDIAN.

I need to give you a feedback about both programs.

############

RLECViewer:

It works only if the battery is plugged on the laptop. The manual configuration is very good and I noticed that the fan starts to get loud and annoying when it is working on 35% of speed. If I unplugged the battery, the laptop turns off after 5 min running the RLECViewer.

OBSIDIAN:

I was not able to run this software. After installed, the program does not work and an error message appears telling that is needed to open the program again.

Could someone share information about what is the percentage the fan starts to get loud ? In my case was 35%.

I have open a post to discuss this issue: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/clevo-w150-hr-change-the-fan-do-i-need-to-upgrade-it.827976/

 

It's model dependent and subjective depending on your ears and whether you use headphones

There is no harm in playing with the fan/temp table at idle. If you set it too low they might turn off. In which case just put the numbers up again.

This program is nowhere near as good as Obsidian Fan Control but unfortunately that doesn't work with the old HM and EM series.

 

I could not give my opinion about Obsidian because I have a Clevo old series.

I decided to not use RLECViewer anymore because the laptop turned off several times during the software execution.

Works great! Thank you very much!

Have no idea, but you can always check the source code.

 

Hey guys!! good day for you all (using my silver shovel in this thread)

I have a few questions:

How is RLECViewer holding up now? i've tried v2.4 and is kinda meh.. in comparisson to Obsidian FanControl.

Right now i have to use RLECViewer because my company security software changes my windows UUID from time to time and my Obsidian FanControl stops working.
I even exchanged many emails with Obsidian support and everytime they reset my uuid and like 1 week or m

 

I changed the temperature calculation so it takes an average. This helps the fan speed not keep changing so much, e.g. if it goes 85 degrees for only a few seconds. It's not perfect, but a lot better than before.

Also I upgraded the project so it works with an environment not from 20 years ago.

This was just a quick hack so code isn't pretty. I just wanted it to work because I couldn't stand the fan changing so much.

edit:
NEVER MIND this, after a lot of trial and error I've since found out the issue was unrelated to RLECViewer or the ntport driver. My GPUs coincidentally started doing their 1.013V crash thing at every startup upon MSI Afterburner load at the time I did this.
The lack of fan speed readout in v2.5 wouldn't have been affected by this though



I tried this yesterday on my P370EM, none of the other driver files looked like they'd been updated in your github file list, so I just deleted the existing config file and replaced the existing v2.4 rlecviewer.exe with your v2.5

There was no display on the little main window of detected temps and fan speeds, changes did not affect the fans (manually set the 3 fans all to 100%, should have spun them up) and upon restart, it bsod/rebootlooped each time soon after it hit desktop, until I disabled the autostart from safe mode.

Replaced v2.5 with v2.4, that had the same issue, needed a reinstall with the v2.4 installer to work properly again.

Was there some other "install" procedure I should have used?

 

a bit old topic, but i want to post this bug, it happened only once but i'm afraid that if it goes other way around it will cause meltdown

 

Hi guys.
I have a clevo w370st with prema mod bios v2, windows 10 and a dead battery.
CPU fan is working in 100% even with stock bios and, or, even at energy save mode.
The fan is clean, the thermal paste s new.
I tried RLEC but nothing (maybe because the dead battery or the ntp driver). I tried OBSIDIAN but nothing (maybe not recognise). I tried notebookfan, speedfan, also nothing.

Is anyone with the same model who solve the issue?
