nfancurve VS nvfancontrol

It turns out that this particular card model will NOT turn the fans on until temperature hits 60º. I found a way around to implement a bash script that will activate the FAN using a configurable curve: https://github.com/nan0s7/nfancurve

yes that allows you to change the fan speed. and if you read down a bit more theres a command that allows you to set the speed. or there are some tools online that allow you to set a curve for the fan like this https://github.com/foucault/nvfancontrol

To do that i had to run : sudo nvidia-drivers . then generate the file xorg.config and then added the cooller bits to that file as shows here : https://github.com/foucault/nvfancontrol

I usually put the coolbits option line in the device section not the screen section. While I don't have any source that is the correct or preferred location for it, I'm curious if that solves your issue. It's where the author of nvfancontrol mentions to put it on github.

Check out nvfancontrol which is on the AUR; it lets you set a custom fan curve based on the GPU temps. It requires setting coolbits option of Nvidia GPUs to at least 4 in /etc/xorg.conf or /etc/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf file. Setting coolbits to 4 lets you control the fan speed manually in nvidia-setting but using nvfancontrol control helps automate the fan speed based on temps. Not sure if it's possible to use with two GPUs or not yet though.
