On the Dell Precision 3650 Tower, the EC ignores fan speed writes unless
automatic BIOS fan control is disabled first. The same SMM code pair as
the OptiPlex 7000 (I8K_FAN_34A3_35A3) works on this machine through the
WMI-SMM backend: after writing 1 to pwm1_enable, all three fans (CPU,
front, top) accept the three fan states and report matching RPM.
Tested on BIOS 1.48.0 with kernels 7.0.0-30 and 7.0.0-31 (Ubuntu 26.04).
Hi,
can you try if I8K_FAN_30A3_31A3 works too? Those are the commands used by
recent releases of the OEM software, so i would prefer using them.
Thanks,
Armin Wolf
