[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Not set max fan speed in high performance level because of the fan noise.

Best Regards
Rex

Rex: sure, you can echo "2"> /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon3(maybe not 3)/pwm1_enable

>>Accepting I don't know how the h/w works your point 2 would imply that with perf on auto doing something like running a benchmark that pegs all the clocks high should also

Rex: based on the thermal,  the fan speed.will be dynamically adjusted.

>>I don't think that would be popular WRT noise.

Rex: maybe I worried unnecessarily. I will change the code not to set fan speed to max. thanks.
