Hi, I am new to linux and installed manjaro kde on my system last night ( Later the system grub was gone and I started a thread about that ). While I was using the system I noticed that the graphics card ( Ati hd 4850 1 gb ) was running hot at around 80 C and I heard more fan noise than usual. My graphics card usually runs at around 50 C on windows. I assume manjaro system makes the card run at maximum speed which causes heat increase. But I usually surf web and watch movies that don’t require high speeds. How can I fix this issue. Thanks.
My pc configuration : Q9300 cpu, gigabyte P43 es3g mainboard, 8 gb of ddr2 ram, hd 4850 1 gb graphics card.
Welcome to Manjaro!
