Thinkfan
services.thinkfan.enable
Whether to enable thinkfan, a fan control program.
::: {.note} This module targets IBM/Lenovo thinkpads by default, for other hardware you will have configure it more carefully. :::
Type: boolean
Default
false
Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/thinkfan.nix
services.thinkfan.extraArgs
A list of extra command line arguments to pass to thinkfan. Check the thinkfan(1) manpage for available arguments.
Type: list of string
Default
[ ]
Example
["-b""0"]
Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/thinkfan.nix
services.thinkfan.fans
List of fans thinkfan will control.
::: {.note} This section slightly departs from the thinkfan.conf syntax. The type and path must be specified like this:
type = "tpacpi";
query = "/proc/acpi/ibm/fan";
- tpacpi: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
Type: list of (attribute set of (YAML value))
Default
[{query = "/proc/acpi/ibm/fan";type = "tpacpi";}]
Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/thinkfan.nix
services.thinkfan.fans.*.indices
A list of fans to pick in case multiple fans match the query.
::: {.note} Indices start from 0. :::
Type: null or (list of (unsigned integer, meaning >=0))
Default
null
Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/thinkfan.nix
services.thinkfan.fans.*.query
The query string used to match one or more fans: can be a fullpath to the temperature file (single fan) or a fullpath to a driver directory (multiple fans).
::: {.note}
When multiple fans match, the query can be restricted using the
{option}name or {option}indices options.
:::
Type: string
Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/thinkfan.nix
services.thinkfan.fans.*.type
The fan type, can be
hwmon for standard fans,
atasmart to read the temperature via
S.M.A.R.T (requires smartSupport to be enabled),
tpacpi for the legacy thinkpac_acpi driver, or
nvml for the (proprietary) nVidia driver.
Type: one of "hwmon", "atasmart", "tpacpi", "nvml"
Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/thinkfan.nix
services.thinkfan.levels
[LEVEL LOW HIGH]
LEVEL is the fan level to use: it can be an integer (0-7 with thinkpad_acpi), "level auto" (to keep the default firmware behavior), "level full-speed" or "level disengaged" (to run the fan as fast as possible). LOW is the temperature at which to step down to the previous level. HIGH is the temperature at which to step up to the next level. All numbers are integers.
Type: list of (tuple of (unsigned integer, meaning >=0, or one of "level auto", "level full-speed", "level disengaged") (unsigned integer, meaning >=0) (unsigned integer, meaning >=0))
Default
[[0055][14860][25061][35263][65665][76085]["level auto"8032767]]

services.thinkfan.sensors
List of temperature sensors thinkfan will monitor.
::: {.note} This section slightly departs from the thinkfan.conf syntax. The type and path must be specified like this:
type = "tpacpi";
query = "/proc/acpi/ibm/thermal";
- tpacpi: /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal
Type: list of (attribute set of (YAML value))
Default
[{query = "/proc/acpi/ibm/thermal";type = "tpacpi";}]
Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/thinkfan.nix
services.thinkfan.sensors.*.correction
A list of values to be added to the temperature of each sensor, can be used to equalize small discrepancies in temperature ratings.
Type: null or (list of signed integer)
Default
null
