Any #Linux users on #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).

I know you probably meant the hashtags are coming from Mastodon rather than the person, but I still chuckled at the thought of you casually considering a Mastodon user so lowly that you call them an 'it'.

The message*

But now that you say it I can see what you mean yeah. That wasn’t my goal and op is most probably a normal human being although I can’t vouch for the normal part.

I’ll use the "not native speaker joker card" and add some French slurs as punctuation, putain :)

Ah! Je comprend "https://jlai.lu/" maintenant, c'est comme reddit!

Ouaip ! Je l’ai lu, jlailu. On est assez fiers de notre nom de domaine, on essaie d’être de "feddit" de la francophonie.
