How to control the fan on an HP EliteBook laptop (NoteBook FanControl or similar)
The NoteBook FanControl documentation notes that if you can't write to the EC fan registers, then you might need to set the EC to "manual control mode." I tried to find if any EC register would toggle manual control mode by writing a hacky script that does the following: Test each EC register to see if it is writeable Set the value of each writeable register to something else (at first I tried values close to the current register value, but I ended up just trying all decimal values 0-255) Try changing the fan speed write register, FTGC 0x2F (47), and the other fan-related registers used in the nbfc EliteBook configs: CRZN 0x22 (34) and TEMP 0x26 (38) to see if any of the changes actually stick Unfortunately, none of the changes to the fan-related registers were ever accepted, no matter what values I set for any of the writeable registers. So either multiple EC registers need to be changed in order to enable writing to the fan registers (e.g., one to enable manual control mode of the EC and one to enable manual control of the fans), or fan control on the EliteBook 845 G9 is totally locked down, which seems more likely. This is a huge letdown because I love everything else about this laptop, but I am often working late at night in a silent room, and fan noise drives me bonkers, so manual control over the fans is a must. Right now my current workaround is to use Universal x86 Tuning Utility to set the temperature limit to 75C (or 65C on battery) to prevent the higher fan speeds from kicking in, but I hate gimping performance to that extent. For the record, here are the EC registers that my hacky script determined to be writeable (in decimal format): [17, 18, 20, 45, 46, 70, 71, 72, 97, 100, 116, 121, 122, 123, 128, 134, 135, 136, 139, 154, 190, 197, 227, 228, 230, 231, 234, 236, 239, 240, 243, 244, 247] More on reddit.com

December 7, 2019 - I put MSI Afterburner side by side to the command center, and the CPU temp showed a difference of 15°C less on Afterburner ! Maybe it's just mine because I have problems with it, but download another temperture software and see if your temps are accurate, maybe it's inflated on the OCC ... i have throttlestop keeping a watch on the temps as well as after burner and occ and theyre all pretty much the same all the time. if only hp releases a bios update which would let us control the fan speed that would be such a relief.

August 2, 2019 - If you are on the older hp omen and want max fan speed then try the open source program called notebook fan control. It manually sets the hardware registers to control the fans like this command center software does but at many more fan levels. There is a profile per laptop and it has some hp laptops and a 15t omen.

r/Hewlett_Packard on Reddit: How to control the fan on an HP EliteBook laptop (NoteBook FanControl or similar)
June 29, 2023 -

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any software, or any settings/configs in NoteBook FanControl, that can successfully control the fan on an HP Elitebook 845 G9 (Ryzen 6850u) on Windows 11?

The closest I've gotten to successful control is by using the nbfc-revive fork of NoteBook FanControl (https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive) by following these steps:

  1. Replace OpenHardwareHonitorLib.dll in the program's Plugins folder with the version from here: https://github.com/UraniumDonut/nbfc-revive/issues/27#issuecomment-967684864

  2. Load the HP EliteBook 745 G5 config. This config confirms my own findings from probing the EC registers (https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc/wiki/Probe-the-EC%27s-registers) that the current fan speed read register is 0x2E (46) and the desired fan speed write register is 0x2F (47).

Using the above config, I can see the fan speed (most utilities are unable to even report the fan speed), but I am unable to actually change the register via NoteBook FanControl, its command line tools, or RW Everything. Any changes to register 0x2F (47) are simply ignored.

Other tools I've tried that don't work:

  • Fan Control (love this for my desktop PC, but no controls are found on my EliteBook, and LibreHardwareMonitor can't even see the fan speed)

  • Universal x86 Tuning Utility (the only other utility that reports the fan speed, but I can't figure out how to change it)

  • SpeedFan (no fans listed)

  • Argus Monitor (no fan or motherboard options)

  • HP Omen Gaming Hub (no fan options)

  • HP Omen Command Center (system not supported)

  • AMD Ryzen Master (won't install)

  • BIOS (no fan options other than enabling/disabling 'always on')

  • Edit: HP Command Center (no fan control, cooling profiles don't do anything; see my reply to u/Terry1017)

Thanks!

Edit (May 2024): I have given up this task as impossible. I used this thread to record everything I tried; see especially my comment about testing the embedded controller (EC) registers. The good news is that the 845 G9 fan is probably the quietest fan I've ever heard on a Windows laptop (except for very annoying on/off cycling around 50 C) and is nearly inaudible at the lowest speed, so I've decided to just set the BIOS option to keep the fan on while plugged into AC power. See my reply to u/Neurrone for further discussion.

Why the fuck do these OEMs do shit like this? Just use standardized fan registers so the software can find them. Even HWInfo can't report fan SPEED let alone change it! I can't even see the current RPMs!
