Hello, i have a Quadro fan controller that i have set up in windows and i have to use Linux for my studies. The problem is that i set a custom curve for my CPU cooler fan that depends on the CPU package temperature sensor. How could i make Linux Mint to give CPU temp reading to Quadro so it could control the fan just like on Windows?

Thats the easy way but far from perfect. I put the temp probe on one of my CPU air coolers heatpipes. Its readings fluctuate between 28 and 36 degrees C depending on CPU load. The problem is that when having short bursts of heavy CPU load, there is not enough time to heat the probe up and CPU temperature raises. Also, when having long CPU load (not necessary heavy) heatpipes soak with heat over time and Quadro speeds up the fans even CPU temp is not getting higher. Im pretty sure it all also depends on an ambient temperature and i dont want to keep playing with the settings every time my room temp changes. Is it really so difficult to make Quadro read CPU temperature in hardware level so it would not need OS service for that? I mean giving it the address of a motherboards chip responsible for monitoring CPU temperature or something like that.
