Published Thursday, 12 Aug 2021 21:00 Linkedin // Facebook // Twitter

Hello Everybody, I Wanna share you my Experience about using Linux (Kali Linux) under Acer Nitro AN515-54.

By Default, Linux can’t be control the laptop fan when you using the heavy program using CUDA Device’s like hashcat or gaming platform like steam and anything else.. So, I Wanna show you how to control your fan using NBCF PLATFORM

First, make sure you have installed mono

For Debian like

 sudo apt install mono-complete

after successfully installed mono you can download the NBCF Platform here

Using git

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc.git ~/Downloads/nbfc
sudo mkdir /opt/nbfc
# Build NBFC
bash ~/Downloads/nbfc/build.sh 

# Installing NBCF
sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/nbfc/Linux/bin/Release/* /opt/nbfc/
sudo cp ~/Downloads/nbfc/Linux/{nbfc.service,nbfc-sleep.service} /etc/systemd/system/

# Setup Services
sudo systemctl enable nbfc --now
cd /opt/nbfc
mono nbfc.exe config --apply "Config file name without extension"
# For Example for my devices i have used Acer Predator config files in this path "/opt/nbfc/Configs/Acer\ Predator\ G3-572.xml"
mono nbfc.exe config --apply "Acer Predator G3-572"

# Start Services
mono nbfc.exe start
mono nbfc.exe status --all

For set your Fan manually you can run this command,

mono /opt/nbfc/nbfc.exe set -s 100 # This is Maximum speed for my devices, you can run under 1-100

For restore Automatically, you can run

mono /opt/nbfc/nbfc.exe set
