## BEWARE: THIS PROGRAM WAS MADE TO SET FAN SPEEDS WITHOUT AN ACTIVE X SERVER, SO IF
## YOU ARE AT DESKTOP THERE ARE MORE CONVENIENT WAYS TO MANAGE TEMPERATURES.
1- Put this entire folder wherever you like (e.g.: /opt/set-gpu-fans);
2- Edit 'cool_gpu' file: change the first line to the directory you choosed;
3- Create a link to 'cool_gpu' in the executable files folder (e.g.: ln
/opt/set-gpu-fans/cool_gpu /usr/local/bin/cool_gpu)
4- Run 'cool_gpu' with a number argument to set this speed (40-100), or with 'stop' to return to
GPU default state, e.g.:
cool_gpu 85 set fans to 85%
cool_gpu stop stops the program and return GPU to its default state
cool_gpu set fan to a temperature dependent value
