r/archlinux on Reddit: Nvidia GPU fans not working in Arch

February 24, 2024 -

I have an Nvidia 3080ti and I can't figure out how to get the fans to work! I'm running Hyprland and have the nvidia drivers and nvidia-settings installed, but none of the fan-related commands do anything.

I dual boot with Windows, and they work in there so I know it's not an issue with the card itself.

So, I hope I am not too late to help. First of all, what is the version of the driver you are using? This is important, because NVIDIA has only added fan control capabilities to drivers higher than v520 (functions that do not rely on X11!). You can check this with `nvidia-smi --version` (it should have been installed together with the proprietary drivers) So a brief rundown of the current situation on Linux: Most functions that control the GPU were tied to the libxnvctrl, which depends on an X11 server running Distros are now replacing X11 for Wayland (hyprland is exclusive to the Wayland display protocol) This broke most of the functions that control the GPU, so NVIDIA started implementing (slowly) the same functions under a new API: nvml (NVIDIA Management Library) A few months ago, the fan controls were implemented for drivers higher than v520 according to their documentation I have looked into the code of nvidia-settings and they now use nvml! I just find weird that it didn't work for you... (I am suspecting about the driver version) I also dislike the custom fan configuration as it tends to overheat my GPU as well. So I have also developed a small fan control utility, but it is currently highly experimental (I am testing it daily, but on Windows as I can't use Linux for now). Besides all this, I want to daily drive Wayland and this is one of my main pain points for me. My program in case you are curious (just fan speed): https://github.com/HackTestes/NVML-GPU-Control

I'm not sure there is a way to control Nvidia fans in Wayland currently. When I had an Nvidia card those settings were tied into the Xserver which needed to run with root permissions to control fan speed. I used a utility called nvfancontrol to set temperature-based fan curves.

[SOLVED] Having Trouble Setting Nvidia Fan Speed / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums

I'm using Arch in a VM and the GPU is an RTX3090. The nvidia driver version is 465.27 · I read in a place or 2 that downgrading the driver might fix this? Also I wondered if this is the sort of problem that can be avoided by running the LTS kernal? ... I think this issue is more about nvidia's 465.27 driver. I was able to downgrade it and I got fan control back.

Changing Nvidia Fan Speed on Arch Linux - Stuff

November 20, 2013 - Quite some time ago I made a post about the coolbits option as a way to be able to control nvidia cards fan speed manually on Ubuntu. Things are a little bit different on Arch Linux. For starters xorg.conf has been somewhat deprecated and it’s preferable to make a file such as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf with just the bit of information we want to change.

r/archlinux on Reddit: How to control GPU Fans ?

April 22, 2020 -

Hey Guys, I'am new to linux and I have recently installed Arch (dualboot with Windows 10). In Windows i use a utility software Aorus Engine to control the Fan settings of my GPU (Gigabyte RTX 2070S). I have set it to OFF-Fans when without load, other wise run fans according to the desired temp. So can i use that software using Wine ? or i have to do something else ? Also is the package "nvidia" enough or i have to download some other drivers also ?

I use an AUR package called nfancurve-git. It works great. I had to fix the config after I installed it though; not sure if that's still an issue.

r/archlinux on Reddit: fan control app?

March 16, 2022 -

new to arch. is there a good fan control app? i was trying to get fancontrol-gui to work, but no success. is there anything like FanControl that's on windows? i use amd 3600/rx 5700 (i don't think gpu is the issue)/noctua front/cpu fans. i'm not great with scripts or terminal yet so a gui app would be really nice.

this is what i'm referring to for reference.

https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/releases

Really fancontrol is what you need and search. You need to install fancontrol of course and then fancontrol-gui. The THE FIST configuration yeah is in terminal but is not hard. Then you can control all the fans usign fancontrol-gui

It's possible lm-sensors is not picking up your fans since that package uses lm-sensors to interface with the fans. How are your fans connected? Directly to the motherboard or via a fan hub?

r/archlinux on Reddit: nvidia-settings: can't enable GPU Fan settings

December 4, 2022 -

EDIT: good suggestion to use gwe. thanks. i wasn't sure if it was me or not since this is the first nvidia card i've used with arch. maybe i will file a bug report upstream

Just replaced a radeon r7 370 with a gtx 1660ti i had in a windows machine. installed the nvidia package and card is working. But I am having a problem with the gpu fan control setting in nvidia-settings. I can't tick on the "Enable GPU Fan Settings". The check mark just won't stick. It does get enabled, but at zero fan speed! Which I obviously can't leave like that. The only way to disable it is to spam the check box rapidly until I see "GPU Fan control disabled" on the bottom left. Then the fans spin again with the default hw profile.

Hopefully, this video can help explain. I added the coolbits option the my xorg.conf file. Not sure what else to try.

Thought there was something weird going on. My system monitor widget for GPU temp is also showing 0C, but reading fine everywhere else. Tried enabling fan control on nv-settings and having the same issue as OP described here. Only reason I didn't notice is because greenwithenvy was already set up before the upgrade and I guess those settings are still in play regardless of the bug on nv-settings. I have a suspicion that this is purely an interface issue though as after clicking the checkbox, it shows "GPU Fan Control Enabled" and as mentioned, it still works through greenwithenvy. So give that a try, package is gwe in the aur

try gwe (green with envy) if that works better

r/linux_gaming on Reddit: Heya, need a good way to control fan curve on Linux - NVIDIA

February 26, 2024 -

So, let me summarize to a lot of you.

my GPU is a 1660 Super, and since NVIDIA has a lot of problems on Linux I tend to try and find solutions and alternatives, but nothing seems to get to fix it.

I want to set a fan curve for my GPU, and Green With Envy sadly seems to just never work.

Even after setting the optimal settings, and enabling coolbits, it still refuses to work no matter what. If there is some kind of way to control fans for GPU fans on Linux, I would be very glad and it would help me a lot.

NVIDIA in general is still awful on Linux from my point of view, but i'm hoping those kinds of things will improve in the future.

Nvidia added a better API to control fans over a year ago but no one has stepped up to modify GWE to use it.

It really depends on the distro for some reason. For example, I simply cannot get GreenWithEnvy to work on Fedora no matter what I do, while it works perfectly on openSUSE Tumbleweed as a flatpak and Arch from AUR. I don't know enough about this to understand why, but that's just my experience. When GreenWithEnvy is working, it's awesome. I set my fan curve and also limit the power level on my 3080 since it likes to cook the memory in it's default settings. Edit: You can manually set the fan speed on your card using nvidia-smi nvidia-settings from the command line. This isn't variable rate control, its a static setting. So if you want it at 70% you set that, and it'll stay that way until you set it as something else. I know that isn't optimal, but if you can't get GWE to work it might be a solution.
