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.
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.
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.
