Hi,

I am a new user trying to make FreeBSD my daily driver. Apparently, the only thing is now stopping me to use it, as daily driver is unable to control the fan. I am using Gigabyte Aero 10th Gen Intel Core i7 with NVIDIA GTX 1660Ti card. I was surprised when everything was working fine out of the box. Currently, I am also using Fedora where I control fans through writing bits on EC using [c program](https://github.com/jertel/p37-ec) uses ec_sys of Linux. My laptop gets pretty hot. I don't want to set a limit on the CPU frequency. I came to the conclusion that my laptop's fans cannot be controlled through ACPI (or I am not capable of). Not only that, but I explored and tried all possible solution such as Arch's documentation or any other code regarding fan control. I hope I will not be disappointment in this forum.

I would like to also request you hide the email address if this is posted publicly. Thank you for the time and consideration.

RegardsRaz
