nvidia_GPU_fan_speed_controller

monitor GPU temps and control GPU fan speeds

TLDR cli magic:

copy and paste into your cmd line for installation

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wottreng/nvidia_GPU_fan_controller/main/install.sh | bash

how to make it work (manual install)

NOTE: see install.sh for all commmands needed!

• add gpu_fan_control.py to your /bin/
• make it excutable: sudo chmod 777 /bin/gpu_fan_control.py
• turn nvidia fan control ON: nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1
• add gpu_fan_control.service to /etc/systemd/system/
• reload systemd services: sudo systemctl daemon-reload
• enable fan control service: sudo systemctl enable gpu_fan_control.service
• start fan control service: sudo systemctl start gpu_fan_control.service
• check log file in /tmp folder

Optional Configuration

you can modify temp to fan speed curve in the fan_curve_algorithm function

NOTES:

• you NEED to enable manual fan control in your NVIDIA settings:
  • GUI: nvidia-settings then Thermal Settings then check Enable GPU Fan Settings
  • CLI: nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1
• tested on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon, kernel: 5.13, nvidia driver: 470.103.01
• rust version added if you rather go that route
