High temps on gpu

Issues & Assistance
1

Hey all,
I just installed Broadwing and while both gaming and watching youtube my gpu is 10 degrees hotter than normal. I run it undervolted and still a lot hotter than i would like (about 73 when it should be 65ish). I had the same card running with better temps on my last garuda install. any help would be great thanks.

not sure if i made the post the right way. To make clear Im getting much higher than avg temps with just simple web browsing. this is with a fresh install and I have my gpu set up with the same profile from my last build. This has made me wonder if its my install or if Im just missing something that will help with my temps.

Hey,

Iā€™m on Nvidia myself, so Iā€™m not sure how to tweak Radeons on Linux, but are you sure sure the driver is detecting the card correctly and your undervolting setting is actually applied?

Also, Garuda usually comes with a zen kernel, the current one is Linux 6.13.8-zen1-1-zen. You seem to be using Linux 6.14.0-arch1-1-znver5. You probably installed this yourself? Did you update/re-install the graphics driver afterwards? The Nvidia drivers compile into the kernel, AMD might do this as well.

Im running in to very high temps while watching youtube and just basic web browsing. I have all the fan tools i use installed from my last garuda build, and Im get way higher temps for both cpu and gpu. I looking for some help with getting this dialed in. below is my inix

Is this kernel for your cpu ? I mean ā€¦not. Znver5 mean 5. generation
You have a 2. Gen cpu, then pls use znver2.
Install this kernel + headers ā†’ reboot system ā†’ test your system ā†’ deinstall znver5 kernel + headers.

Next time, if you install a kernel pls take a look in the description over octopi or pacseek

linux-znver5

The Linux kernel and modules - AMD Zen 5

linux-znver2

The Linux kernel and modules - AMD Zen 2

!!! Your bios is out of date !!! Pls update.

Even linux-znver2 kernel (matisse architecture) would not be correct, because the Ryzen 5 PRO 3400G is a Zen+ CPU (picasso architecture). :smiley:

Of course, perhaps, but never znver5. It could be better to work with zen / lqx / cachyos
for cpus + igpu rx vega.

Yep, I agree with you.

@MagDux :

Thatā€™s not necessary with AMD because the AMD GPU drivers are real kernel drivers (and not some proprietary crap like nvidia that doesnā€™t follow the official guidelines of the linux kernel).

As @gampel has already mentioned, the wrong kernel is installed.

I have gave that a go but with zen4 kernal, and have not tried zen 2. I have read the other post in the post just wondering what i should do? Try the zen see how it helps or go with a different fix?

10

There is an application ā€˜sensorsā€™, that not only gave me the temperature readings but critical & emergency limits (not sure where the limits came from).
Run sudo sensors-detect
then sudo sensors
When detecting sensors I did say ā€˜yesā€™ to all the prompts without issues, YMMV.
You may find your well within the temperature limits. You might not need to ā€˜sudoā€™.

11

As i type Im using zen2. So far so good, but spotted this after would zen3 be best?

12

Itā€™s the other direction, zen2 is still too high for your CPU.

That would be my recommendation as well. The Linux 6.13.8-zen1-1-zen that Garuda uses by default is very good. Cachyos would be an viable alternative, as it picks the right compatibility level automatically. (CachyOS - Github ā†’ Features)

These kernels are not suitable for your CPU.
Just try the zen-kernel (has nothing to do with the AMD Zen architecture):

sudo pacman -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers

Then reboot, select the linux-zen kernel in the grub menu and boot with it. Then test if everything works without issues. If so, open ā€œGaruda Boot Optionsā€ and set it as the default kernel under ā€œBoot toā€.

Ive now tryed all that has been suggusted and now my cpu temps are WAY to high with some music and a video playing. Plus they flux from low to way to high stay then drop. This is all since broadwing(it borked my last build whole hard dirve). i dont understand what I or the os is doing. Iā€™m a tad lost.

15

If you have another system installed how does it preform? when doing the same thing?

I meant on this hardware the update to broadwing killed my last build. I went update and it wouldnt boot or let in to grub had to pull data and rebuild. So now same hardware but new os build on it.

hi,

The thermal design of this system is pretty bad. It has no air circulation workflow. I had to flip the case upside-down to create somewhat a natural airflow. I did upgrade years ago with bigger fans cpu cooler and renewed cpu thermal paste too because getting old.i had temps from 90 degrees after self upgrade runs down to 53 and worked much better btw.
I would say if you not familar with buildings pc ask someone to help you if you want on my thinkings btw.

18

This is pretty much what i was thinking both the fan and the paste are old. I had hoped to get around that but seems that is the best fix. Thanks all the temps arent as good as my last build but in there ā€œokā€ range now. Yallā€™s work here is done
