TPfancontrol starts in SMART mode, how do it get it start in Manual mode

Smart mode doesn't kick the fan on until it's hot on my laptop and I sometimes forget to put it on manual mode. Is there a way to start it in manual mode with a default of 2 fan speed?

 

which OS are you running, you should be edit the starting behaviour of the TPfancontrol, by going into start, program, tpfancontrol, etc.

 

you need to edit tpfancontrol.ini

Code:

// "Active=0" program just reads config.
// "Active=1" allow program to modify fan.
// "Active=2" program will come up in smart mode.
// "Active=3" program will come up in manual mode.
// bei "Active=0" wird nur die Konfiguration ausgelesen.
// bei "Active=1" die Veränderung des Lüfterverhaltens ist aktiviert.
// bei "Active=2" startet das Programm im "Smart"-Modus.
// bei "Active=3" startet das Programm im "Manual"-Modus.

[B]Active=2[/B]

change "Active=2" to "Active=3" and it will start in manual mode.

below that you can change the manual fan speed:

Code:

// manual fan speed at program start
// Lüfterstufe beim Programmstart

[B]ManFanSpeed=7[/B]

change this to "ManFanSpeed=2"

once you edit the .ini, you'll have to exit TPFanControl and restart it for the changes to take effect.

 

yeah thanks guys right after I posted this I looked for the ini file.

 

I would like to see TPfancontrol set the fan to SMART on battery, but manual mode on AC...
