razer-laptop-control VS nvfancontrol

The link to the repo if anybody is interested in checking it out before I fork it.

Did you try solutions for this. Apparently the open razer driver manages the cooling well, Even though no manual control is given. Also this https://github.com/rnd-ash/razer-laptop-control

Fan control is still kinda a pain. There is a custom driver for razer laptops https://github.com/rnd-ash/razer-laptop-control but it doesnt have support for the 17 inch 2021 model. I was able to patch it manually but the repo seems dead. There is a work-around involving a windows vm but it's kind of clunky. I haven't had a need to max out the fans on a daily basis so the workaround works for now. When I start needing fan control on a daily basis I might revist this

https://i.imgur.com/OuvCWwh.png <- Razer Synapse telling me my fans don't spin. Can't adjust it at all. Have factory reset two times now. PC slowly creeps up in heat until it thermal throttles itself to blue screen. Have tried several 3rd party fan software packages, none of which detect my fans at all. Tried to build https://github.com/rnd-ash/razer-laptop-control linux drivers into a windows install with windows linux subsystem and no luck there either.

Hi u/Joffoj hmm try adding the new define variable into razer_common.c as they did here: https://github.com/rnd-ash/razer-laptop-control/pull/61/commits/3e612fd3d4210158916281ca6d8854c8fd2aff7e

There is some razer-specific information regarding fans in the wiki as well. It points to a git-repository Did you try that?

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.
