I'm running Karmic (9.10) and a Dell Latitude D630. I was running NVidia drivers 173 and my BIOS was version A08. My fan was spinning loudly mostly when the machine came back from suspend mode, but not exclusively, as it would get loud at random times during the day. The GPU temp was 60, and the cores where 38 and 37. I used one of those pressurized air cans and cleaned the fan without opening the case (it was very dirty). I upgraded the BIOS to A15 (latest), and upgraded the NVidia drivers to 195.30 (latest stable). Now, I'm running a whole bunch of processes to try to get the fan to spin loudly, and even though my temps are GPU 72, Core0 68, Core1 67, the fan is not loud at all, and it hasn't been for the past 30 mins, so I think the problem went away.
Can you guys post your temperatures? When you say Low or High, how much is that? I'm trying to see what value I should set my GPU high temp alarm. -- nvidia graphics driver 177.80 on geforce 8400 makes fan spin all the time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
