Newcomer in the Ubuntu community, running dual OS 16.04LTS and Windows 10. I recently installed AMD drivers for my Rx480 card and was now trying to control the fans behavior manually.
Having an issue to do so depsite following this thread strictly How to control fan speed?
running pwmconfig show me following
Testing pwm control hwmon1/pwm1 ...
hwmon1/fan1_input ... speed was 4011 now 3738
no correlation
hwmon3/fan1_input ... speed was 1804 now 1819
no correlation
hwmon3/fan2_input ... speed was 808 now 815
no correlation
I then run correlation and define Min-Max and threshold temps for the sensor dedicated to my GPU but when trying to save the config and reboot to make it active,I am getting below error message and my GPU fans spins full throttle.
Settings of hwmon1/pwm1:
Depends on hwmon1/temp1_input
Controls
MINTEMP=20
MAXTEMP=60
MINSTART=150
MINSTOP=100
MINPWM=0
MAXPWM=255
Select fan output to configure, or other action:
1) hwmon3/pwm5 4) hwmon3/pwm1 7) Just quit
2) hwmon3/pwm3 5) hwmon1/pwm1 8) Save and quit
3) hwmon3/pwm2 6) Change INTERVAL 9) Show configuration
select (1-n): 8
Saving configuration to y...
mv: cannot create regular file 'y': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access 'y': No such file or directory
Configuration saved
I am using xsesnors to monitor temps and they seem correct for my CPU (although fan speed seems too high so I will need to manage that later) but is close to 60degC idling for the GPU due to fan running only at 450rpm or so.
Appreciate any guidance on what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks in advance.
