There is a fancontrol tool in Linux (Debian included), but it has no GUI. Nevertheless, it's more convenient and safe to let your motherboard control your fans, otherwise it's an easiest way to burn something inside your PC. Personally, I let my motherboard control fans in my PC, and I monitor their speeds using lm-sensors and conky GUI. Answer from Aristeo812 on reddit.com

In particular, you will have the opportunity to establish mappings between fans and temperature inputs, define the temperature range over which the speed of the fan should be adjusted dynamically, the minimum speed at which the fan should spin, etc. See fancontrol(8) for additional information.

r/debian on Reddit: [Help needed] Fan control on headless linux server
November 25, 2024 -

I just got myself an Intel Arc A380 for my home server that's going to be run a media server, self-hosted cloud store, etc. I am running the latest Debian (but I am open to switching distros, if justified).

My problem is that the GPU fans drive me nuts, as they keep spinning up and down constantly.
I've observed that they speed up when the GPU temps exceed 30Β°C, and go down once it is lower. My idle temps are between 28-31Β°C.

I would like to set up a custom curve (or at least some temperature points and values) via a terminal. I've read up on multiple threads and saw that there are solutions available for NVIDIA or AMD GPUs, but haven't found anything close to a solution on Intel. Does anyone know about anything that might help me? Thank you in advance.
