  • How can I change my fan speed on my TUF gaming , I tried Amoury Crate but it didn’t work?
    You have access to the fan curves only thru Armoury Crate's manual mode . I haven't personally tried this but there was an app called "notebook fan control", it might be helpful . I used to run it on my GL502VY laptop back in the day where it was kinda impossible to change the fan speeds. You can find it on github. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Embarrassing disappointment - first day with G14.
    I used to use on my old HP a program called Notebook fan control https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc/releases It's not that easy to setup, but it's a real saviour if it knows how to work with a particular fan controller. Did anybody try that, is there a support for G series? I'm doing my own investigation but no results yet. Source: about 2 years ago
  • How does laptops detect its temps?
    You can use Notebook Fan Control to manually control your fans, although it might take some tricky setup if your laptop doesn’t work with any of the presets. Source: almost 3 years ago

  • Question about Nvidia options
    NVidia driver has a simple panel, but it's very limited in options. You can get more with https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Really bad battery life on a Lenovo Yoga 7i
    On my system Lenovo Legion 5i i7-10750H with a RTX2060 on hybrid mode I got 15Wh. I'm starting to test with auto-cpufreq + LenovoLegionLinux + GreenWithEnvy (I hope it gets a new maintainer) setting the dGPU to 1W (which it never reaches, never less than 6w). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Nvidia on Linux state
    I'm happy with NVIDIA on Linux for the most part. I stick with X11 for the overclocking Green with envy and g-sync, plus DLSS 2 and ray tracing works in every game I've tried besides hitman, however DLSS 3 frame generation doesn't work and no idea when/if it will. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Nvidia settings shows wrong clock speeds
    I am not sure if it supports 1060, but search up GreenWithEnvy. It has maximum power draw control and displays the slowdown temperature among other things. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Help to Restore a Configuration
    I wanted to configure the nvidia graphics power with GreenWithEnvy but this requires activating Coolbits 8 in order to work, so I looked for how to activate and I found this. Source: over 1 year ago
