|
|
My computer has an Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti GPU which has a very annoying habit of the fan going absolutely nuts when running games (e.g.: quiet, quiet, quiet, FULL SPEED SCREAMING, quiet, quiet, SCREAMING, quiet, SCREAMING, etc etc). When I used to have Windows 10 on the machine, I would keep this under control with MSI Afterburner and just set a maximum target temperature, then Afterburner would dynamically adjust the fan and other GPU parameters to keep things reasonable.
Is there any equivalent utility to do this in Gentoo, or otherwise a way to stop the fan going crazy? |

If you can't find something that does what you want out of the box, I have an amd tailored daemon written in python - it would be trivial to change the part of it that does the actual "set fan speed to" to use the CLI tool mentioned in the topic madmin linked if you hit a wall; feel free to ask for an nvida version if that happens, and you have the time/inclination to help with testing.
Though, reading said thread creates the impression that CLI fan control is done via communication with X, so having custom fan control started as part of your DE login or "gamemode" scripts seems more appropriate? |
