Any #Linux users on #IntelArc here?
I bought an Intel Arc A750 and it looks fancy, works for gaming and AV1 encoding (after adding "vpl-gpu-rt" recompiling the kernel for that I guess), but I cannot control the fan at all!
The fan mode is "automatic" and on full power all the time which is crazy loud.
I tried everything, updated my kernel to 6.18 longterm, used a windows install to use that intel tool to upgrade the GPU firmware, no change.
Now I plan on connecting the fan to the case fan connector and controlling it through BIOS (I can read temperature now so that is okay-ish I guess).
I couldn't find a single report of this being a thing at all, do these GPUs really have THAT shitty drivers? I thought it was just performance issues (which I didnt really see).

Intel Arc GPU configuration & hardware control issues (fan speed, temp sensor, firmware upgrades)
I bought an Intel Arc A750, this is my configuration, any comments? It builds, but does it make sense? { config, lib, pkgs, ...}: { # Enable OpenGL hardware.graphics.enable = true; # automatic hardware.intel-gpu-tools.enable = true; # allow shared intel gpu in VMs virtualisation.kvmgt.enable = true; # video playback hardware acceleration #ffmpeg.hwaccel_args = "preset-vaapi"; # WHERE TO SET THIS?? hardware.graphics.extraPackages = with pkgs; [ intel-media-driver # for newer hardw...
