 |
|
Lately I'm seeing numbers like this, on an almost totally idle system:
| /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_pm_info: | Clock Gating Flags Mask: 0x37bcf
…
GFX Clocks and Power:
1500 MHz (MCLK)
1206 MHz (SCLK)
214 MHz (PSTATE_SCLK)
625 MHz (PSTATE_MCLK)
1000 mV (VDDGFX)
13.65 W (average GPU)
GPU Temperature: 52 C
GPU Load: 0 %
UVD: Disabled
VCE: Disabled |
13W/52°C is the sort of numbers I'd expect under load (compare to this previous post and this one). The idle numbers should be much lower. I'm not sure how to read the *CLK lines, but if the top two are current speed then that's not a good thing…
This is on kernel 4.18.11, I'm not yet sure when this first started but it was relatively recent. Anyone else seeing unusally high temps?

Don't have /sys/kernel/debug but seeing idle 99F with CPU at 75F with 4.17.19
| Code: | $ sudo lspci|grep VGA
21:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos [Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 / R5 230 OEM]
|
This is a low power board running the radeon module.
What kernel config do I need to enable /sys/kernel/debug?
I can try both 4.17 and 4.18
I left 4.18 because the screen was updating strangely making a hash of nano. |

I think enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_FS should be enough, the AMD stuff within doesn't seem to have a separate "off" switch.
I'm not sure if the radeon driver will show anywhere near as much info, or the same bug for that matter; on my other (circa 2011) R600 card all it has is this:
| /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info: | uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0
power level 0 sclk: 27827 vddc: 900 |

On a different but related subject, has anyone got hibernation working with AMDGPU? My hp laptop will suspend about 95% of the time, but not hibernate.

Looks spot-on. Thanks, will try updating past 4.18.13 and see if that fixes it.
EDIT: yep, 4.18.14 works fine. Temps are sane once more. |
