I just bought a new ASUS VivoBook M409DA , with a Ryzen 3 3250u APU.

 

The laptop has a crappy cooling design, resembling the Macbook air 2020, the fan just blows over the tiny heatsink over the CPU, with no heatpipes.

 

It run HOT all the time, and for some reason the fans just wont ramp up when needed. So i need to manually speed 'em up.

 

The trouble is. . . ..  .I can't.

 

HWiNFO

Speedfan

Argus

Afterburner

Open hardware monitor

Notebook FanControl

 

Tried all of them, ALL OF THEM FAILED. some of them couldn't even detect a fan controller(they didn't show the option to change speed).

 

No BIOS or Driver options exist. the same for the asus control panel

What do i do? I really need to change the speed.

 

I will eventually run Linux, so am rooting for the lm-sensors/fancontrol there.....but i think it might fail too...

 

WHAT DO I DO??

You could try installing ROG Gaming Center, that came preinstalled on my Asus laptop and it allows me to change the fan speed, perhaps that could work.

As far as I know, most laptops and OE computers offer no control over fan curves. Obviously some gaming machines offer it, but those come at a premium cost.
