Fan control and hmonitor

I am trying to control some fans connected to my mx610 using data from hmonitor. I can sucessfully make it so that change speeds on startup/shutdown events, however:

I can not seem to make it changed based on a temperature. Somethign like "If CPU temp >= X then change fan speed to Y".

I did notice that their are some more advanced options available using speedfan/MBM5, but is there any way to do this with HMonitor?

The probelm I have with MBM5 is it appears to be a dead end as there is no more development occurring. the problem I haev with Speedfan is it takes so long to start....

Thanks,
Bob

Sorry, thought I woudl mention I am doin this:

Event: Sys->On condition

When it is Yes: [#$HSMTemVal002]>=80 (I have chnaged this to different things, so don;t look at the specifics, but rather, is the technique correct?)

Action GPO->Advanced->Increase PWM

Thanks,
Bob

the technique you used should be ok, maybe LCDC is driving the fans for itself.. check in the "Advanced MXx features\GPO/PWM control"dialog of LCDC configure/test, if the GPO advanced control is set to "manual, set in screen builder", you could also test to use "auto, temperature based" to allow LCDC to be your automatic digital baybus :)
