From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fan drivers for a Windows laptop (programming.dev)

Tldr: Are there fan drivers I should look into for my Gigabyte Aorus XC laptop (Intel i7; RTX 3070; 32GB RAM), so my fans do not get stuck at 100% when running Linux? I installed Mint 2 yrs ago when this happened. Im aware I cant tell for sure without doing another live boot, but I'd like to prepared just in case.

EDIT: I tried solving this before with acpi fan module also to no avail. I checked lm-sensors scripts for my device before posting this today and there were none still. I also googled for solutions beforehand and did not find anything relevant for my device. Furthermore, when I did a live boot before, the fans were working normally, but on installing either Mint or Ubuntu the fans were maxed out. If I have to install to test things out, then there's not much point to a live boot for this in the first place.

Have you used the fancontrol script from lm-sensors yet?

I tried that before and it did not work, however I guess its worth a shot again. Can I install it in live boot?

I've never tried to do that but probably. It might require you to have a recent kernel and Nvidia drivers installed.

Your previous post did register, be patient.

Maybe this.
