I've just rebooted into 5.11.5. The gpu fan went into max speed for one second or so. After the computer finished booting sensors still showed over 3000rpm, even though at that point the fan was already off: amdgpu-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter vddgfx: 825.00 mV fan1: 3601 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3500 RPM) edge: +47.0°C (crit = +97.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C) power1: 7.15 W (cap = 36.00 W) I waited a couple of minutes and then watched 4k vid. The fan turned on and sensors started showing this: amdgpu-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter vddgfx: 962.00 mV fan1: 1004 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3500 RPM) edge: +57.0°C (crit = +97.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C) power1: 12.03 W (cap = 36.00 W) So there is a change in reported fan speed. After turning of the video the fan turned off again but the reported fan speed stayed at roughly 900 RPM. I played a bit of Xonotic. Again, fan turned on but the reported fan speed remained roughly the same, around 900 RPM. I have no way of measuring the actual fan speed while playing a game or watching a video so I don't know if what sensors are reporting is accurate. sensors --version outputs the following: sensors version 3.6.0 with libsensors version 3.6.0 For the CPU fan speed it does seem to report the actual speed. I've recently switched to a new CPU cooler with a new fan and both this new one and the old one were reporting speed change that corresponded to actual cpu fan speed. The old cooler had manual fan control so I could see the reported speed change live. ps. I'm in UTC+1 and I probably won't be able to post more tonight. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
