[adamw@lenovo build]$ ls /proc/acpi/fan/ [adamw@lenovo build]$ that's on my 3000 V100. According to smart kernel-type people I asked, the fact that there's nothing in /proc/acpi/fan means that the kernel can't control my fans, and the fact that my system frequently powers itself off due to overheating if I try and run a compile job more than five minutes long appears to back up this theory. They told me there is something hideously complicated that could be done to fix this, but it was beyond my feeble capacities. =) While you're at it, do you think you could fix the fans?
