7900XTX Fan Curve

Issues & Assistance
1

Hey I own a AMD 7900XTX and while I may be new to Garuda, I’ve used other Arch distros in the past.
But I always keep running into this major problem : Getting fan curves on my 7900XTX.
CoreCtrl Doesn’t work.
LACT Doesn’t work.
Trying to edit /sys/class/drm/card1/device/gpu_od/fan_ctrl/fan_curve doesn’t work ( or I did it wrong/permission issue ).

6.7 kernel was suppose to include a way for us to control RNDA 3 fan speeds right?
I’m on 6.7.5-zen1-1-zen.
I’m at my rope’s end on this and am utterly desperate. If this is something not possible with Arch at all, I really would like advice on another distro that would 100% work with this card.

What’s the problem with not posting garuda-inxi?
It contains additional, useful information about the status of your system.

:warning: Missing information requested in the template may result in not receiving assistance

Make sure you have done the following before you post:

Issue still unresolved? Then:

  • ONE issue per topic.

  • Describe your issue in detail. The more we know, the better we can help

  • Show us the results of your searches, and what you’ve tried

  • After rebooting, post the FULL output of garuda-inxi in the body of the post (not linked externally, or collapsed with the “hide details” feature)

  • Format terminal output (including your garuda-inxi) as a code block by clicking the preformatted text button (</>) , or put three tildes (~) above and below the text

Without garuda-inxi this request will be moved to 412 Precondition Failed

Seems new hardware in use, just wait a little or try M$.

Ah sorry, here’s the inxi

I have also an AMD 7900 XTX (Sapphire Nitro+), but I am sorry to say, with my limited knowledge, I was not able to get the fan control working, as a test for you (I do not need it controlled, it just works for me).
I have tried:
CoreCtrl
LACT
TuxClocker
None of them are reading the fan speeds. Even garuda-inxi is showing “fan: 0” on Sensors. Reading temperatures or wattage is usually fine, though. If anyone else has any ideas, I might help testing.

Have you tried just downloading fancontrol-gui and setting to the amdgpu sensor of choice there for fan control. In my inxi it shows fan 0 and speed N/A but it is working and controls to the curve i set, i use it through fancontrol-kcm so its there in my system settings. i can easily verify its working by setting to 100 percent at lowest temp and hearing the fans lift off.

That ones a negative too.
Tried fancontrol-gui-git. Made a new profile, set the fan curve values all to 100%, started and enabled the services : no effect, no fan movement.
I know the fans of my GPU works during under load and in windows but in linux it has zero rpm enabled by default.

I recently got sick of the issue where HWMON devices can move around from boot to boot in the /sys filesystem, changing their absolute path, so I tried fan2go and found it very helpful because it talks directly to the HWMON nodes.

Not the same issue you’re having exactly, but you might find that it succeeds in your case where others failed. If it shows up in a fan2go detect then you’ll be able to control it.

It should also be noted that fancontrol-gui doesn’t handle multiple devices well and churns out broken configurations right now if you have multiple HWMON platforms in the one machine:

Beyond that, fan2go is awesome in general because you can do very complex control schemes.

I hope you have some luck!
