automatic fanspeed depending on gpu temperature (linux)

[biomann]

Hey guys,

i wrote a script which controls the GPUs fanspeed depending on its temperature on linux-machines. and because i am "locked" to this newbie section, i´m going to post this script here and provide some support/troubleshooting on this. I am using this scripts for some days now and it runs just fine.

You can find the script here:

I wrote a script which starts mining, overclocks my cards and starts this script for each card.

The recommended way to use this script is running it in a screen-session. For running this on your first GPU start the script like this:

screen -dmS fan0 /home/{username}/autofan.sh 0

I´d like to receive some feedback on this, i hope it will be useful to you.

Nice script, but it really needs to be launched as a daemon rather than a screen session, so it could be launched from init scripts.

Useful. Using it now!
