Hi, I have an Nvidia GTX 970 with driver 535.216 on Debian 12.9. The fans
don't generally come on on the video card, and if I let it get to the mid
90s it crashes. Sometimes the driver behaves and holds the card in the mid
60s, but not always. As a workaround, running with one monitor disabled
lets it keep up by passive radiation. Is there an easy fix to this ("don't
use Nvidia" is probably not easy at this point)? Thanks.
