ah, then I got that part wrong. Okay if that's a desktop GPU, then
it's something we literally can't fix. We require signed firmware in
order to control the fans from a driver side. What you seem to
experience is the GPU doing it itself, because it overheats. Sad part,
we can't change the clock without signed firmware either. What could
help is the new GSP firmware we got, but that's still WIP and would
require you to compile your kernel and fetch a firmware from somewhere
and then it might not even work correctly yet.
