For a while now (when I had the 6.8.0-49-generic kernel), I've stuck with the commit abc8a07, since it was the last commit before turbo stopped working. Starting at commit 1b99bc8 and turbo does not work, at least for my kernel version.

i've tested this module and default kernel module named acer-wmi the acer-wmi works without any problem.
well the only downside is there is no any keyboard rgb implemented there but turbo key does work.

How are you controlling both your CPU and GPU fans?

[0x7375646F]

The fan control mechanism is not implemented too
Iam working on similar project where iam integrating all the features in it might take some time but i have finished implementation for lcd override now next is fan speeds and then rewrite of rgb keyboard mechanisms , battery limiter and so on.
Will update yall if i complete it in time.

[kumarvivek1752]

if it is open source I'll be happy to contribute to your project

[0x7375646F]

It indeed will be open source rn the source code is kinda messy so once i implement custom fan speed feature i can send it to you to test. if you have discord you can contact me.

[kumarvivek1752]

@0x7375646F, I only need fan control because when I run GPU-intensive tasks, the temperature of my laptop rises to around 95°C–98°C, but the fans still run at medium speed.

This is my Discord ID: vivek1752
If you allow me on your project, I can try to implement this feature myself.

[0x7375646F]

@kumarvivek1752 the fan speed control will be implemented by tomorrow accept my friend request in dc its sudo.dwg

@kumarvivek1752 @0x7375646F can I collaborate too?

[0x7375646F]

@tribhuwan-kumar sure well i haven't made any repo but i have implemented custom fan speed
https://streamable.com/z7o66x
iam thinking of making repo once all the features are done and the code is properly cleaned but lets see hmm.
if you need code for testing you can send friend request to my discord acc.

[kumarvivek1752]

@0x7375646F I tested your code, and it is working as expected.
