Any #Linux users on #IntelArc here?

I bought an Intel Arc A750 and it looks fancy, works for gaming and AV1 encoding (after adding “vpl-gpu-rt” recompiling the kernel for that I guess), but I cannot control the fan at all!

The fan mode is “automatic” and on full power all the time which is crazy loud.

I tried everything, updated my kernel to 6.18 longterm, used a windows install to use that intel tool to upgrade the GPU firmware, no change.

Now I plan on connecting the fan to the case fan connector and controlling it through BIOS (I can read temperature now so that is okay-ish I guess).

I couldn’t find a single report of this being a thing at all, do these GPUs really have THAT shitty drivers? I thought it was just performance issues (which I didnt really see).
