Bug ID: 212107 Summary: Temperature increase by 15°C on radeon gpu Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 5.11 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org Reporter: martin.tk@gmx.com Regression: No

Since upgrading my kernel from 5.10.16 to 5.11.3 I noticed an increase in temperature on my AMD gpu (Radeon RX550). I later tried both 5.10.20 and 5.11.4 and I can notice the increase in temperature only on 5.11 kernel.
In addition to the temperature I noticed that the fan on gpu would spin up to max rpm for a second or two right after waking up the PC from sleep. I've never noticed such behaviour before.
I can't see any errors in the logs and the system seems to be running normal. No crashes nor degraded performance either.
I check temperature using sensors utility. For 5.11.4 it shows the following:
1st run:
amdgpu-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter vddgfx: 962.00 mV fan1: 963 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3500 RPM) edge: +54.0°C (crit = +97.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C) power1: 9.13 W (cap = 36.00 W)
2nd run few minutes later:
amdgpu-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter vddgfx: 825.00 mV fan1: 978 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3500 RPM) edge: +47.0°C (crit = +97.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C) power1: 7.19 W (cap = 36.00 W)
5.11.3: amdgpu-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter vddgfx: 962.00 mV fan1: 991 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3500 RPM) edge: +57.0°C (crit = +97.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C) power1: 9.08 W (cap = 36.00 W)
these two are on 5.10.16:
amdgpu-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter vddgfx: 787.00 mV fan1: 976 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3500 RPM) edge: +39.0°C (crit = +97.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C) power1: 6.11 W (cap = 36.00 W)
amdgpu-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter vddgfx: 962.00 mV fan1: 976 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3500 RPM) edge: +40.0°C (crit = +97.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C) power1: 8.26 W (cap = 36.00 W)
I'm attaching parts of dmesg log I thought relevant.

--- Comment #2 from Dieter Nützel (Dieter@nuetzel-hh.de) --- It could be the ZeroCore thing, which has finally landed with 5.11. Please verify, that your gfx fans stopped with 5.11 and running with all kernels below 5.11.

Bloody hell, you're right. On 5.11.4 the fan on gpu stops completely, even though sensors claim it's spinning.
I suppose I'm lucky I didn't fry my gpu ._.
How is that even possible?

--- Comment #4 from Alex Deucher (alexdeucher@gmail.com) --- The driver turns off the fans for acoustic reasons if the OEM enabled support for the feature in the vbios. They will still go on when the temperature gets high enough.

Ok. I checked again and the fan does turn on when playing a game (gzdoom).
Too bad it's the quietest fan in my PC :)
I guess I panicked.
If this is the expected behaviour then this bug can be closed.
Thank you.

It _is_ expected and we waited (very) long for it. ;-) (Did regularly testing with amd-staging-drm-next kernel.)
You can close it. (First 'solved', later 'closed').

--- Comment #7 from Dieter Nützel (Dieter@nuetzel-hh.de) --- Addendum (@Alex) Maybe we could do someting about the reported fan speed. Zero (0) if stopped.
@Martin You can verify the fan speed (raise) if you put load on your gfx card.

I've just rebooted into 5.11.5. The gpu fan went into max speed for one second or so. After the computer finished booting sensors still showed over 3000rpm, even though at that point the fan was already off:
amdgpu-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter vddgfx: 825.00 mV fan1: 3601 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3500 RPM) edge: +47.0°C (crit = +97.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C) power1: 7.15 W (cap = 36.00 W)
I waited a couple of minutes and then watched 4k vid. The fan turned on and sensors started showing this:
amdgpu-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter vddgfx: 962.00 mV fan1: 1004 RPM (min = 0 RPM, max = 3500 RPM) edge: +57.0°C (crit = +97.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C) power1: 12.03 W (cap = 36.00 W)
So there is a change in reported fan speed. After turning of the video the fan turned off again but the reported fan speed stayed at roughly 900 RPM.
I played a bit of Xonotic. Again, fan turned on but the reported fan speed remained roughly the same, around 900 RPM.
I have no way of measuring the actual fan speed while playing a game or watching a video so I don't know if what sensors are reporting is accurate.
sensors --version outputs the following:
sensors version 3.6.0 with libsensors version 3.6.0
For the CPU fan speed it does seem to report the actual speed. I've recently switched to a new CPU cooler with a new fan and both this new one and the old one were reporting speed change that corresponded to actual cpu fan speed. The old cooler had manual fan control so I could see the reported speed change live.
ps. I'm in UTC+1 and I probably won't be able to post more tonight.

--- Comment #9 from Martin (martin.tk@gmx.com) --- Hello,
is it possible to return to the behaviour from version 5.10? Back then my gpu was cool and quiet.
I'm running 5.11.17 currently and temperature on the GPU gets to 70°C but fan is at like 300rpm.
The above is without touching anything in /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon1
When I disable fan control by putting 0 in /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1_enable the fan spins up to top speed. 2 keeps it running at 2000rpm and it's loud. Which is strange because after booting it's 2.
Ideally it would be great if I could return to how it worked on 5.10

This isn't always reproducible. I thought it may be related to suspending my PC but in last few days the temperature is kept around 55°C

--- Comment #11 from miloog (mileikasjos@mailbox.org) --- I can confirm.
But in a different scenario. I'm using debian bullseye with lts kernel and latest amdgpu firmware. I don't change any fan control mechanism.
5.10.44 and 5.10.45 works fine but 5.10.46 if i'm only start sway (wayland window manager) my gpu usage is at 100% without doing anything.
It's a vega 56.
