Hello,
My GTX 1050 Mobile is running at 1700MHz (According to GreenWithEnvy) when playing somewhat demanding games. This is making it run hot enough to make the fans spin obnoxiously loud and I were considering to limit the max frequency to lower the temperature.
I have tried to use the Coolbits method described in [ArchWiki] (NVIDIA/Tips and tricks - ArchWiki)
Which should enable me to enter a negative off-set value in Nvidia X Server Settings, but to no luck.
Using nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl to set a powerlimit does not work as it just reports
"Changing power management limit is not supported for GPU: 00000000:3A:00.0.
Treating as warning and moving on.
All done."
and neither does Nvidia-smi --lock-gpu-clocks
"Setting locked GPU clocks is not supported for GPU 00000000:3A:00.0.
Treating as warning and moving on."
All done.
