radeon-profile VS ZenStates-Linux

I purchased a used MSI r9 360 at a swap meet several days ago, and upon chucking it into my rig it worked well, however the fans did not spin by default. I was able to get it onto Radeon drivers (I think) but it doesn't show up on mangohud or psensor, and the only way to get the fans to actually spin is via this GitHub project which does work fine but booting up a program and having to run it in the background isn't ideal. Any advice on what I can do to try and get it to work more seamlessly?

I used " radeon profile " when I first switched from windows to Linux, it's less fancy than adrenalyn, but it has some OC capabilities and such, if you wanna check it out

And perhaps worth a mention that there is another app called Radeon Profile avilable at https://github.com/marazmista/radeon-profile similar to Corectrl, but it hasn't been maintained for the past 2 years.

First of all follow everything on this guide. If your GPU fans don't work install Radeon Profile (yay -S radeon-profile-git). If you have a multi-monitor setup and one of them doesn't work you can try checking in Radeon Profile if the monitors are detected, like this. If it is connected but not active and you can't get it to active, you can try changing the mkinitcpi.conf file and putting MODULES=(amdgpu radeon) instead of the default MODULES="". After that you run sudo mkinitcpio -P and reboot. If your mouse cursor is invisible in Xorg you can try following this. Now enjoy your brand new GPU.

My recommendation is that you try out radeon-profile and CAREFULLY read how you set it up and it's daemon.

Things should 'just work'. If you want more details on the hardware perf you can try this stuff: Corectrl or Radeon-profile and Manghud

Not sure if this is applicable to EPYC CPUs, probably not. But I would expect that it's possible to disable C6 in some similar way on EPYC CPUs without rebooting the system. (If you are actually at risk of running into this issue, you likely don't want to reboot the system…)

I tried everything you've mentioned but finally fixed the issue on my 1300 using python zenstates. I had it run on boot with this systemd service: ``` [Unit] Description=Disable C6 state on ryzen processor to fix idle freezing

The freezing has only occurred when idle so far: when the monitor returns from sleep, no signal is returned. A related bug report references this Python script several times in the comments, and there's also another for Go. No commits in several years, sudo is obviously required and I don't know if they can be considered as safe.

Note: I merely added the systemd script (IIRC by reusing some forum messages while digging my crashes) + the debian packaging. That's not my script :), credit for this script goes to https://github.com/r4m0n/ZenStates-Linux

I fixed this by toggling some power management option (can't remember which one, deep in a submenu) in UEFI, then checking with https://github.com/r4m0n/ZenStates-Linux. It must return C6 disabled for package, enabled for cores. Ryzen 5 1600

Also try disabling C6 sleep with zenstates

You can undervolt by manipulating the VIDs with zenstates https://github.com/r4m0n/ZenStates-Linux

It's the Ryzen bug. You need to disable your C6 cpu state (https://github.com/r4m0n/ZenStates-Linux), disable dram power down enable(bios option) and set Power Supply Idle Control to Typical Current Idle(bios option)

So the other hand is zenstates.py It pokes a register to keep C6 power state from happening. I launch on reboot, and my machine no longer has sleep state problems.
