Bug ID: 96956 Summary: amdgpu disables fan by default and burns HW Product: DRI Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: medium Component: DRM/AMDgpu Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: stsp@list.ru
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.
