### Using

3. Reload the `kmod` service to reload the modules.

#### Configure Fancontrol

1. Install `fancontrol`.
2. (Optional) Install `gnuplot` if you want `pwmconfig` to generate graphical plots.
3. Run `pwmconfig`.

   2. Generate detailed correlations when asked.
   3. Set up the config file when asked (`/etc/fancontrol`).
   4. Decide which sensor each controller should depend on.
   5. Configure all fan controllers.
   6. Save and quit.
4. Tweak the config:
   1. Open `/etc/fancontrol`.
   2. Round up all numbers, just to make it a little cleaner.
   3. Set `interval` to around 2 seconds.
5. Restart the `fancontrol` service.
