*That's not my terminal output btw, so don't strain your eyes trying to read it, lol. It is the fancontrol tool that I used though.

After installing Pop OS, my fans have been running super high, and I had no idea why that changed. My fan curves in my BIOS haven't changed (I even lowered it to "silent" mode), and my temps are low. After a long time messing around with the fancontrol tool, I somehow made it worse, so I uninstalled fancontrol and am just dealing with it. I think it must have been my Corsair software on windows that was keeping my fans running at reasonable speeds before, and without it, it reverts back to my BIOS controls. Oh well, it's not that big of a deal, but it did inspire me to make a meme out of it.

This is all just for fun, so I did consider it a good learning experience. I decided to just revert back to BIOS controls, but now I know how I would control my fans in the future if I ever wanted to.

Hell yeah, BIOS controls for day to day business and fancontrol settings for when you're trying to impress a date.

look babe, it's a unique 8 point curve for each fan, isn't that beautiful! do you hear it too?

Yeah, a date that can appreciate the finer points of fan control is a real keeper. Most are just bowled over by the raw power.
