DELL Fan Control Mitigation

This file is public domain and provided as-is. There are NO guarantees. Use at your own risk.

This script was created after discovering a non-reaction of the cooling system (fan rpm) to load conditions.
(overheating, clock step-down, …)

Preparations:

modprobe ipmi_msghandler
modprobe ipmi_devintf
modprobe ipmi_si
lsmod | grep ipmi

if success add modules to /etc/modules

apt install ipmitool lm-sensors bc
sensors-detect
sensors

check output of sensors for at least one line with core temp

ipmitool -I open sensor

check output of ipmitool for correct function

Best regards
