Non-functional automatic fan control on Duffy / Asus Chromebox 4

My mistake, looks like AsusFanControl was not effective and has no control over Asus Chromebox 4’s fan. I am still experiencing throttling to 0.4Ghz in Windows. Any suggestions to manually control the fan speed?

send me a DM if you’d like to test a build with automatic fan control enabled at boot, and perhaps that will resolve the issue

I saw the update regarding fan control fixes for 10-gen Chromeboxes. Thank you. For the meantime however I have reverted back to stock firmware and run RW_Legacy UEFI to observe fan behavior, among others.

So far fan speed has been operating at reasonable RPMs, and no longer see frequent Fan 0 Stalled messages on ectool console, which were present while I was running MrChromebox-2405 Full UEFI ROM.
