How can i control my Nvidia gpu fans? - Linux Mint Forums
May 1, 2021 - It's a bit messy, you can use the software i mention also (GWE) but you can also just use the default Nvidia software with that 'cool-bits=4' tweak to have manual control of your GPU fan. ... Here is a tutorial similar to what's mentioned above https://www.iodocs.com/how-to-enable-gp ... -in-linux/

(Solved) Changing my graphics card fan speed - Linux Mint Forums
September 27, 2024 - Some widely used monitoring sensors are not documented and Linux kernel devs rely on reverse engineering. Nevertheless, since you have a radeon card, you can try CoreCtrl (available in Software Manager). Of course what CoreCtrl can do depends on the backends it uses. There is another gui utility called Fancontrol (also in Software Manager).

Fan-control for linux mint - Linux Mint Forums
It definitely works because under Windows, I could install fan control normally and it found all the fans, etc. I was able to set everything up, for example, the fans would run at 40% until the CPU reached 40ยฐC, and then at 41ยฐC, the fans would go to 41%, and so on. And thatโ€™s exactly what I want to have again. When the fans run at 100%, you get a headache very quickly.... It doesn't mean anything that it works in Windows. There are open source implementations of both IPMI and BMC available for Linux, which tells me the standard implementation doesn't work in Linux.

r/linuxmint on Reddit: Nvidia GPU Fan Curve Control
January 18, 2026 -

New to Linux, extremely happy with it so far. Question: does anyone have recommendations for a program to control their Nvidia GPU fan behavior? My fans will repeatedly kick in and kick off at my GPU's idling temperature. Nvidia Settings > Thermal Settings only goes so far. I'm essentially looking for a Precision X1 replacement. I'm using a 3060 ti.

It seems like GWE was the best solution until the dev switched to AMD, are there any actively maintained replacements?

I've heard some people recommend Cooler Control, but I get the sense it's almost overkill for what I'm trying to do. I've also seen some mention about using BIOS, am I correct that this is only for CPU and (possibly) case fans?

I appreciate any suggestions!

November 23, 2022 -

My GPU fans are bonkers. I built this PC a few months ago, and I guess I didn't do enough homework on the GPU compatibility. The PC runs great, and I am really enjoying the switch to Linux (aside from the fact that the learning curve is really steep).

But my GPU fans are constantly starting/stopping, like every 5 seconds they will stop, then start up again. This creates a constant buzzing/clicking sound when they start/stop. Very annoying, and also I'm concerned about the GPU overheating.

It seems like the selection of fan control software is pretty slim, but I'm hoping there are solutions!

I tried downloading fancontrol, but when I run the commands, it says that the program cannot detect the proper sensors to monitor or make any changes.

What would yall suggest I do here?

I basically just want to adjust the fans so that they run constantly, without starting or stopping.

Looking program called amdgpu-fan for fan speed control - Linux Mint Forums
April 19, 2022 - Hmmmm...let's see should I use Mint or openSUSE... ... GUI fan speed control on Linux is a very sore spot. Once a month or so, we get a post asking about it, but it basically does not exist. Mainly because the hardware manufacturers don't support Linux. All we have is some unmaintained old projects like that Github repo. There is this, which is also not maintained and requires compiling from source (and I don't think it works with GPU fan speeds) https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui So yeah, you are stuck with some Terminal commands.

I abandoned the Window-ship and am now sailing steadily with Mint Cinnamon 21.1.

Everything is running surprisingly well with little to no configuration, which is great, however I found that running games through Steam causes the fans to max out their RPM for some reason. Another game running natively on Linux with equal graphics doesn't. The fans behave as they should, meaning it'll adapt to strain but generally speaking runs very quiet.

I seem to recall a thread that had the same topic discussed with a solution but I cannot find it. Googling about I found one video that had a tool that allowed you to set fan RPMs manually but they're not adaptive.

Running the following setup: Asus Prime B660M-A D4 Intel i3 12000F MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT 32 gigaram of some European brand I can't remember at the time

Can't control fan speeds in Linux Mint 22.1 Xia - Linux Mint Forums
It's possible that your hardware is not fully supported (or your motherboard is made for Windows and does not play nicely with the Linux kernel); you'll have to control fan speeds from your motherboard BIOS. That's what most of us do. Most modern motherboards allow for fan speed curve settings in the BIOS. I have mine set to "Quiet", works pretty well. For the GPU you can try CoreCtrl but I don't know how successful you can be: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl There were some other tools like radeon-profile and amdgpu-fan but they are no longer maintained.

As the title says, I'm looking for a tool which I can use to control my AMD GPU fans, I recently switched to Linux Mint and now realize how much noise it makes when playing Minecraft with some shaders and mods etc, I have a decent card and don't need it to spin this much. The default settings are way too aggressive utlimately I'd like to have something like we have on Windows, it's called AMD Adrenalin but I doubt that's available for us Linux users because we're the minority unfortunately.
