Hey Sthu Deus, thanks for the reply. I currently have installed on my
machine cpufrequtils, fancontrol and lm-sensors. As you saw or not
from my message I just started using Debian since yesterday. I googled
cpufrequtils and found out how to start and configure it. On the other
hand I can't seem to find a guide for fancontrol so I would appreciate
if you can tell me how to set it up in a way that doesn't kill my
laptop. I can imagine this sort of things can be dangerous if not done
right.


Regards,amt.
