Any updates from the two people with Acer hardware?

Hello, I've tried your patch on my Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16-72)
using quirks from PH16-72 and it looks like fan control works just fine.
On other note, can you please add PHN16-72 to the quirk table?
if you need anything to test please do notify.
Thanks,

Hi,
sorry for taking a bit long to respond, i am currently on vacation. Nice to know that the experimental patches work :).
Can you send me the output of "acpidump" on your machine?
Thanks,
