Cool! No shipping was fine, in 2 boxes tightly packed. Yes, BIOS really shouldnt affect the fans.

I will look again if I can find anything in there


@SteveTech

Amazing! I also tried it on windows, with all the official vendor malware installed, and the fan reported speed 0 and ran on max too!

So I am kinda ruling out Linux issues, and need to go deeper.

I upgraded the firmware of the GPU already, no change.

The PC is rather old, 7th Gen i7, officially doesn’t support the GPU. The BIOS is pretty outdated too.

Might it be that?

I also looked at the 2 fan cables, they seem fine but I will see what happens if I plug them out and in again, or plug the secondary one out first.

Previous owner said the cards ran silent, and the case is very closed so I doubt something moved in shipping

I already run the nvtopPackages.intel and it displays more than sensors I think. The VRAM temperature fix sounds fun but I think there is no need right now. I should learn how to build “derivations” which is how you apply patches declaratively afaik.

Fedi thing outside of lemmy and I never got crossposting on Lemmy to work

Any [#Linux](https://tux.social/tags/Linux) users on [#IntelArc](https://tux.social/tags/IntelArc) here? I bought an Intel Arc A750 and it looks fancy, works for gaming and AV1 encoding (after adding "vpl-gpu-rt" recompiling the kernel for that I guess), but I cannot control the fan at all! The fan mode is "automatic" and on full power all the time which is crazy loud. I tried everything, updated my kernel to 6.18 longterm, used a windows install to use that intel tool to upgrade the GPU firmware, no change. Now I plan on connecting the fan to the case fan connector and controlling it through BIOS (I can read temperature now so that is okay-ish I guess). I couldn't find a single report of this being a thing at all, do these GPUs really have THAT shitty drivers? I thought it was just performance issues (which I didnt really see).
