Simply put. A Clevo-based laptop is the one that comes with dual fans, like the one I use from Asus's ROG series(G53SW), and like the one in the picture.
The thing is... Asus uses an EC chip from ITE. ITE chips's datasheets are quite hard to find. The one used in G53SW is IT8572E, and I couldn't find its datasheet thus : I can't control it.
ofc I viewd and applied the solutions suggested by the arch wiki in fan control one by one, nothing worked for me, as lm-sensors can't detect my EC chip in the first place, and non of the kernel modules listed there worked.
nbfc package doesn't work too even though they got the G53SX model working, tried it's configs but didn't work as well.
SO...
I found a package in Github called Tuxedo fan control but they only support Ubuntu and openSUSE.
I'm willing to give it a try, but I need some way to convert it to be an arch package.
Should I proceed with the tuxedo thing ?
Should I give up on Arch and go use a debian based distro instead ?
Is there any better ways to control the speed of my 2 fans ?
Help please
A clevo-based laptop is a laptop with dual fans, usually one for the gpu and the other for the cpu
