I’m not entirely sure when this started or what could have prompted this. I monitor my GPU usage and temperature with MangoHUD, and I’ve noticed that when playing any game now (emulator, Steam, Genshin, etc) at some point during gameplay my GPU fan speed will instantly jump to 100%, and stay there - Regardless of what the GPU usage or actual temperature is. It seems to get triggered at very low temperatures, in some of these games I never see the GPU go over 55c (typically around 40-45), and the fan will still ramp up and stay there.
Even closing the game/application will not return the fan speed to normal, I have to reboot. I installed GreenWithEnvy to check the fan profile, and it appears that Green isn’t able to see the fan information (reads 0% fan duty and 0 RPM). Attempting to change the fan profile does not have an effect. I also attempted upgrading my kernel from 5.13 → 5.15.
GPU is a 1660 Super, and I’m using the latest 495.44 proprietary Nvidia drivers. Any ideas are greatly appreciated as this issue makes me pretty uncomfortable, for obvious reasons I don’t want to yeet a fan on my GPU and have to replace it in the current market.
Please let me know what other information would be useful.
