Hi,

I quite love tpfancontrol while running on battery, but when i have it connected to power outlet i'd like a little bit more cooling. I usually turn on the manual mode and set the fan level = 1. This works with temperatures greater than 50.

But the problem is when the temperature gets less than 50 degrees, the fan shuts off. And seconds later the temperature reaches 50 degrees and the fan turns on. This alternating in fan-speed is quite frustrating, so i'd rather it just stay on fan level = 1.

I've checked the .ini file, but it doesn't say anything about the lower threshold.

Tips would be greatly appreciated! =)


Regards,
propellen

EDIT:
Solved. It was the NHC that was trying to override the tpfancontrol settings. So now i'm only running NHC while on battery.
