Description

Fan control can be handed back to the BIOS on some Dell XPS laptops from user space. It is useful when manual fan-control tools have taken over and the user wants the firmware to manage cooling again.

This Git utility affects laptop cooling behavior. Wrong use can lead to loud fans, overheating, or loss of manual control, so it should be used only on supported models with temperature monitoring available.
