Tldr: Are there fan drivers I should look into for my Gigabyte Aorus XC laptop (Intel i7; RTX 3070; 32GB RAM), so my fans do not get stuck at 100% when running Linux? I installed Mint 2 yrs ago when this happened. Im aware I cant tell for sure without doing another live boot, but I’d like to prepared just in case.
EDIT: I tried solving this before with acpi fan module also to no avail. I checked lm-sensors scripts for my device before posting this today and there were none still. I also googled for solutions beforehand and did not find anything relevant for my device. Furthermore, when I did a live boot before, the fans were working normally, but on installing either Mint or Ubuntu the fans were maxed out. If I have to install to test things out, then there’s not much point to a live boot for this in the first place.
I tried that before and it did not work, however I guess its worth a shot again. Can I install it in live boot?
I’ve never tried to do that but probably. It might require you to have a recent kernel and Nvidia drivers installed.
