How do I add Option "Coolbits" "1" to the xorg config in Manjaro?

I need the Clock Freq setting to appear in NVIDIA X Server Settings. In order to do this I need to add in the Xorg config

Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
>Option "Coolbits" "1"
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

Manjaro uses mhwd, so there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf. How do I do this?

Save the file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf, or a similar name.

Save there only Option “Coolbits” “1”? I’m not sure what BusID and other parameters are used now.

No, everything you pasted above. :arrow_down:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "Coolbits" "1"
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

For the BusID et al, check your lspci.

How do I know which options are in use now?

I tried adding this config by setting the right BusID and got a black screen on restart.

This is most likely due to the fact that I have hybrid graphics.

Try without the additional parameters, maybe something like so:

Section "Device"
 Driver "nvidia"
 Option "RenderAccel" "True"
 Option "Coolbits" "1"
EndSection

Unfamiliar with how it will work using hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics.

Change the “1” to “13” or “28” or whatever combination suits your needs/card.


The Coolbits value is the sum of its component bits in the binary numeral system. The component bits are:

  • 1 (bit 0) - Enables overclocking of older (pre-Fermi) cores on the Clock Frequencies page in nvidia-settings.
  • 2 (bit 1) - When this bit is set, the driver will “attempt to initialize SLI when using GPUs with different amounts of video memory”.
  • 4 (bit 2) - Enables manual configuration of GPU fan speed on the Thermal Monitor page in nvidia-settings.
  • 8 (bit 3) - Enables overclocking on the PowerMizer page in nvidia-settings. Available since version 337.12 for the Fermi architecture and newer.[1]
  • 16 (bit 4) - Enables overvoltage using nvidia-settings CLI options. Available since version 346.16 for the Fermi architecture and newer.[2]

To enable multiple features, add the Coolbits values together. For example, to enable overclocking and overvoltage of Fermi cores, set Option "Coolbits" "24".
The documentation of Coolbits can be found in /usr/share/doc/nvidia/html/xconfigoptions.html and here.

I am on an AMD/Nvidia hybrid. I installed optimus-manager and switched to the dGPU.

From there you can add the coolbits option as you did.

Apparently, coolbits doesn’t work on a hybrid system while you’re on an iGPU.
