Bug ID: 119211 Summary: amdgpu disables fan by default Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 4.5.5 Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Fedora Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org Reporter: stsp@list.ru Regression: No
I have radeon R9 380. After the KMS driver activates, the fans on the GPU stops. They can be activated again by properly setting up fancontrol, but this wasn't configured on my PC. As the result, for the last few years I have replaced many motherboards, all starting to have bad capacitors around the video card. But only now I have noticed that the fans are not rotating... :(
The driver should activate fans by default, or don't touch the initial settings (fans are rotating before linux have started), but not stop them by default.
