Fan problem Linux 4.15

[jonfpersson]

Hello guys! I have some problem regarding fan speeds and my GPU in Linux. I am currently running Ubuntu 18.04 and ive installed the NVIDIA drivers (390.77) and i cant manage do get my fans on the gpu to spin.

I currently have a gtx 1070 strix and the system wont recognize the fans at all, which leads to my gpu is constantly overheating. The nvidia settings panel doesnt show any setting for controling the speed at all.

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks for help!

You better try the latest drivers, you just have to put the updated repository and then install the 415 drivers through the driver manager

Okay so i did what you said and installed the latest drivers (415.27) but still i cant manage to get my fans spinning. You have any other idea of what may be the case?

My gpu is an Asus gtx 1070 strix if that helps.

Cheers

In thermal settings from the nvidia-settings GUI control panel you can't get to modify the fan speed manually?

All I could say what it seems to me is the NVIDIA driver does not support your card for some reason, maybe the OEM Asus modification makes mess with Linux, you should definitely contact the non-existent NVIDIA support team for linux, sadly your only choice is to use the nouveau driver which is the open source one, but it is only capable of showing the desktop and the 3D acceleration in games is very shitty, but at least that should make the fan spinning in theory

Are you also sure that the fan does not spin even if you open a game? I know some cards would start spinning at 50c°

Well thats pretty sad to hear, having a modern gpu and the drivers wont even work.

I tried stressing the gpu and no, the fans wont even spin at 60 degrees. Is there any way to contact asus you think?

With further testing it seems like when the card hits higher degrees the fans would try to spin up but then quickly die again, pretty weird behavior. 

Id say the that the fans are functioning because everything's fine inside of windows.

I think you better try with NVIDIA If here, for some of those sites you need to create an nvidia account https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/linux/
http://www.nvidia.com/page/support.html

you also want to tell Ubuntu developers about this, they will just open the bug and check if there are other people having the same issue but they could also have a workaround of the solution idk honestly, you need a launchpad account

Well they still make the driver for OEM video cards as well so...
What could ASUS do? Maybe a bios firmware update, which sometimes they won't make, I don't think they do that because no one supports linux directly but you could try

Does the fan work at least with the open source "nouveau" driver? The one which comes out preinstalled before you use the nvidia proprietary one

I tried going with the nouveau driver and it seems like the fans are working correct, although i haven't find a way to set the speed manually it is at least working automatically. I think im gonna go with this driver either way. Thanks for all the help! really appreciate it, and if i find another solution ill update this thread.

Cheers.
