When running the drivers from kernel 3.15.0, pwm1_min seems to default to 3=
5. I
noticed that this yields reported ~2k RPM in fan1_input for my card. Since =
the
fan runs at ~1k RPM in idle when running the NVIDIA blob, I tried lowering
pwm1_min and noticed odd results.
Lowering pwm1_min to 32 is fine and gives me a readout of ~1.8k RPM. Howeve=
r,
after that, I see weird output values:
31 ~ 4.5k
30 ~ 9k
29 ~ 5k
28 ~ 22k (sic)
27 ~ 75k (sic)
26 ~ 400k (sic)
At no time was my computer lifting up from the ground though, and even with=
the
reported 4.5k it seems that the fan did not actually speed up.
Additional background: It seems my fan is only supported as of Linux 3.15.0.
Before that, the fan ran at 100% and dmesg showed =C2=ABFAN control: none /
external=C2=BB. On IRC I was informed that a new fan has been added to 3.15=
, and
indeed it seems to be recognized now (many thanks for that!).
I=E2=80=99m attaching my dmesg and my vbios in case it helps. Note though t=
hat
nvagetbios reported a warning when dumping the BIOS:
> No extraction method specified (using -s extract=
ion_method). Defaulting to PRAMIN.
> Attempt to extract the vbios from card 0 (nve6) using PRAMIN
> Invalid signature(0x55aa). You may want to try another retrieval metho=
d.
Let me know if there=E2=80=99s additional information I could supply.
