Hello Garuda users.
've recently migrated from windows 11 to garuda gnome, and configured it to my desire. but 1 problem which is still bothering me a lot is the CPU usage is under 5 % but the temperature is around 50 degree vs windows 11 which is around 30 degree!
I’ve tried boosterchange, cpupower and this topic’s solution:
but none worked.
Is there any way to fix this issue in garuda?
Can you provide your
garuda-inxi
as per the garuda template

Could you please fix this condition first, please?
You may just need to install fan control software. Without it my system would never spin up the fans on the Kraken AIO and the CPU would always run hot. FWIW I use CoolerControl; it may or may not be the one you'd want to use.
I've used garuda-update to upgrade it the output:
garuda-inxi | grep part
Is partially upgraded: No
but nothing changed
That’s OK. It’s one thing checked off the list. As Sherlock Holmes was oft to say; “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”
This is how we troubleshoot.
So, what is the next step?
I've installed it via software center and it didnt worked
Next, I would see if there’s a newer BIOS available.
But–and most importantly, what are you doing to find a solution to your problem? Searching the forum? Googling, changing kernels, switching extensions off? We need to know everything–what you found, what you read, what you tried, etc. We very much need you to help us try to help you.
I don’t run GNOME. And I’m writing this from a Windows machine. My options for helping you are limited.
Does it start up and show your temperatures and fans? If so you'll probably need to set a custom fan curve.
Mine looks like this but yours will likely need to be set differently:
Yeah, on Fresh Garuda OS dragonide it is still at a range 47 degree...
I dont think the bios update is related and a good option to choose.
Have you tried? BIOS updates are usually directly related to hardware. But if you won’t consider it, then I am out of this thread.
Check if this helps:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/Acer
There is a relevant comment for a model similar to yours (Nitro AN515-45).
Ok, I will search about it and will try it.
But one thing that make me worry is by updating the bios, what if things get worse and there is no way to rollback?!
Mine is like this: there is no items for fan etc
Is there anything that I might missed? also I should mention my system is a LAPTOP.
I've checked it and the Bios version is actually the latest version by default.
Have you tried this?
For better power optimization, use auto-cpufreqAUR. For fan control, use nbfc-linuxAUR with AN515-43 configuration.
