Support for Alienware m15r3 to enable the bios fan performance mode from linux

[samuaz]

Hi Guys,

I have alienware m15r3 i9/32gb/2080rtx I really love it!
I'm a Linux user because I'm a developer so for this i dual boot Linux, my alienware performs pretty good with linux much better i than windows only issue that I have is that in Linux my fans max speed are stuck at 4000rpm (using the old i8kfan control) and as I don't have the command center on Linux I can not make my fans give me the full speed.

I'm trying to found a way to enable and disable the fan performance mode in Linux to get better fan performance as windows.

Using the dell_smm_hwmon module I can see my two fans speed and also with i8kfan I can set two speed levels 1(2000rpm) 2(4000rpm) but not way to make it at performance mode 6200 rpm as windows.

Any possibility to make this libsmbios support alienware laptops?

i try with

sudo smbios-thermal-ctl --set-thermal-mode=performance

But nothing happens. Thanks
