r/linux_gaming on Reddit: Can't figure out how to apply LACT settings
July 9, 2025 -
Hi there! Sorry if I'm being an idiot, but I've been trying to figure things out for a few hours, searching here and there but I'm still at a loss. I've recently taken the leap and set up a dual boot Bazzite, and so far having a blast, even though I have to relearn a lot of things.
Latest issue is I'm trying to set up an undervolt/overclock profile for my RX 7900 XTX, and managed to unlock all options in LACT, but nothing I do seems to apply. I figured I'd try undervolting first, but Mangohud still shows the same value. To make sure, I've tried setting the fan at a fixed 100%, but that doesn't kick in either after applying. Am I missing something? Yes, it's the correct GPU (I've disabled onboard chipset in BIOS).
Please don't bash me too hard.
Edit: my investigations and reading of https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/issues/460 point me to a driver level issue with my GPU, as I seem to be unable to change settings using Corectrl as well. Still investigating to clear the fog and try to find a solution/workaround.

https://github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT?tab=readme-ov-file#installation It says overclocking requires enabling an option in the amdgpu driver and to check their wiki. It likely also includes undervolting. https://github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT/wiki/Overclocking-(AMD) It is easy to miss so no worries.

I'm going to warn you with lact, but bear in mind, this was just my experience on arch. I highly recommend corectrl over lact, because it works well and has never boned my arch install like lact did. I was not getting the same performance boost so decided to mess with the minimum clock settings, which immediately made my pc crash. When I rebooted, my main monitor was static and glitched out, the other was just green. Long story short, I had to use my live usb to use chroot to delete lac. After that, everything went back to normal and I went back to corectrl. I just wanted to compare the two and lact lost for me. You may have a different experience with it, since your hardware and distro are different. But I still wanted to relate my experience with lact.
I made a tutorial on an MSI Afterburner alternative on Linux (LACT). For the new friends. :)

May 9, 2025How do I use LACT to control my GPU fan speed in games?
If it's an AMD GPU using the amdgpu driver, you can just adjust those settings in the Thermals tab. I don't remember if you need the featuremask to adjust fan curves but you can just enable it in the OC tab (in the "Enable AMD overclocking" setting). More on reddit.com

Overclocking AMD with LACT on Linux: a complete guide
February 21, 2026 - Its goal is to fill a gap that neither AMD nor Intel have been able to solve: a complete graphical interface to manage the behavior of the graphics card without having to depend on the command line. On a practical level, LACT allows View detailed GPU information, modify the core and memory frequency, adjust power limits, control the fan curve, manage power states (in the case of AMD) and monitor in real time what is happening with the card, all from a fairly intuitive window. What makes LACT particularly stand out is that, for AMD users on Linux, centralizes in a single graphical tool What previously required mixing commands, scripts, and scattered configurations is now possible.

Renewed tool LACT (Linux AMDGPU Control Application) – GUI for managing GPU AMD Radeon on Linux - Blog - HostZealot
November 28, 2023 - This tool was designed as a GUI for the simplified control of settings after installation of the driver for AMD Radeon graphic cards on Linux. With the updated version of LACT, it became easier to check the status of GPU parameters and change them if needed. The source code of this project is available under MIT license. The last version of LACT helps to control parameters of system cooling, work with GPU power state configuration, review data about GPU, change GPU/VRAM clock frequency/adjust voltage, and monitor the level of performance as well as heat dissipation. LACT uses GTK 4 cross-platform interface library and is written in Rust.

You can manually specify the amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff kernel parameter in your bootloader to enable overclocking. See the ArchWiki for more details. As some of the GPU settings may get reset when suspending the system, LACT will reload them on system resume. This may not work on distributions which don't use systemd, as it relies on the org.freedesktop.login2 DBus interface.

New stuff:
-
More advanced profile management
-
Process monitor
-
More Nvidia metrics
-
Power profiles daemon integration
...and more (see full changelog via the above link)
__________
For people trying to overclock/undervolt their cards while also being able to set up fan profiles, there's no better software in my eyes. And it's also very lean.
Note: Undervolting your Nvidia card has to take the indirect route (=shifting the freq curve) as no direct voltage control is exposed via the Nvidia drivers.

Recently upgraded to a 9070xt, but boy is it loud on the default settings.
On windows I used adrenalin to do -12% PL and do a custom fan curve, it applies on launch
Can I do the same on Fedora/Cachyos using LACT?

Incredible how no one is really helpful. I bet the deamon is indeed already running but it's a misconfig on the LACT files. Edit this file: sudo nano /etc/lact/config.yaml and edit the lines with the admin_user and admin_group with your user and the admin group you are part of. You can check who your user is with in console: whoami Then write in the console to check who your user is part of. groups [user] Write both results on the config.yaml file and save. Restart lact, and it should be working now.
