HTPC - RX570 fan control - 0rpm possible?

My fellow shitposters, bestest of people, my dear almost friends maybe,

with great sadness (#sad) I have to inform you that

the fan on my RX570 just

will

not

STOP

SPINNING!!!

Is there a program to control the fan curve on AMD cards or at least give the GPU a threshold up to where the fan should not be running? Effectively I want to make it a semi passive card so I can watch movies or just have stuff playing in general without anything moving in the system and this GPU fan is the last missing part.

The card is a Sapphire RX570 Pulse ITX 4GB. It is running maybe low 40s °C when I stop the fan by just blocking it, so temps are really not a problem here.

That card should already be doing this up to 52°C. apparently wrong info on geizhals, there’s no mention on sapphires page.

Other then that, the radeon driver won’t do it?
Afterburner or the EVGA thing should in any case.

Uhm, category.

Coffee? :smiley:

Oh, oops :stuck_out_tongue:

The AMD driver doesn’t have that setting on Linux? :thinking:

There isn’t really a driver with settings and stuff. The pro might have that but I would like to stick to the open source AMDGPU driver without the pro stuff.

Use at own risk:

Didn’t know lm-sensors is able to control shit at all.
Gonna look into that.
Thanks.

Also I hope you’ll find more eucalyptus.

“Support for system fans, and NVIDIA GPUs”

Hmm, probably not. But thanks.

Ahh, dang. Had a derp moment.

How about this one:


Read clocks, set clocks, fan speeds and curves.
Theres also and arch aur package.

Damn, that looks really good. :+1:

Didn’t try to search for radeon since that is now kind of “the old stuff”.

I highly recommend using fancontrol. I use it to manage the system fans on my X370 system.

Fancontrol does the job, specifically the AUR version that integrates into the KDE system settings. (Manjaro) I ended up still switching to a passive RX460 because the 570 could not hold temps in zero rpm and even worse, the PSU fan was constantly running and that thing is annoying.

Also radeon-profile does not work for controlling fans on polaris or fiji.
It is still useful though.

Thanks everyone.
