(mostly critiquing the video presentation) I dual boot linux and windows i was just messing with you. I’m considering creating a simple pyside interface for doing this at some stage if this tool is popular enough I forgot to include explanation about how to edit the fan curve yourself, but there is a lengthy comment in the code for that, which will hopefully suffice. The instructions are fairly specific to the 500/400 series, so I’m not sure whether it will work with earlier cards, but one can always give it a go (I’m pretty sure you might not even need to edit nf with 200 series cards). Please feel free to post if you have a fix for some of the smaller bugs that exist in it, but it should be very usable if the instructions are followed. If you want the script to work well, I highly recommend taking the time to adjust the curve to suit your own card and your own preferences about heat and noise levels. But my previous card, with it’s stock cooler, and small case easily approached 75 degrees during long renders and on hot days. This is probably fine, and this script is not needed. no need to adjust the fan speed manually, script adjusts it according to situation.Īlso, you might notice that my current triple slot card runs at 65c when using default nvidia fan settings.Reduce the wear, and increase its lifespan.Ĭards in sli (although I havn’t added support for multiple gpu’s yet)Īre usually a good indication when you need to check how your card is performing thermally. To run cooler, which is great for longer renders. your gpu is getting hotter than you’d like it to.

your gpu is too loud, more than it needs to be.Some situations where you might want to use this: I’ve decided to share this script now after a while, and created a video explaining how to set it up. Unfortunately no such feature exists in linux. I found this feature in msi afterburner really useful when conducting long renders or preview sessions in cycles. I created a script to control the fan speed of nvidia gpus in linux using a custom fan_speed vs temperature curve.
