ventd/hardware-profiles

Community-curated database of hardware fingerprint → fan profile mappings, consumed by the ventd daemon at first boot so a new install on hardware someone has already calibrated skips the 60-second calibration sweep.

What a profile is

A tuple of:

• Fingerprint — DMI board vendor / name / version, Super I/O chip name, PCI subsystem IDs, CPU microcode family. Enough to uniquely identify a motherboard + cooling layout.
• Channel roles — which hwmon channels are case fans, CPU fans, pump, GPU fans, AIO fans.
• Calibration seed — start_pwm, stop_pwm, max_rpm per channel, pre-measured so new installs skip the sweep.
• Default curves — sensible linear curves tuned for the motherboard's thermal envelope.

How it's used

ventd reads profiles.yaml at install time (via go:embed) and opportunistically at runtime (opt-in via hwdb.allow_remote: true). Fingerprint match on a fresh install → one-click zero-config wizard.

Contributing

Every entry is curated. No PRs accepted yet — the schema is still in flux while internal/hwdb lands in ventd. Once the ventd binary has a ventdctl profile submit path, that becomes the blessed contribution flow.
