I didn't get to test the Radeon driver much (stuck with fglrx due to an issue) but one of the things that bothered me is the lack of a properly adjusted fan speed. I fully support a dynamic system of adjustment.
At least with 7.0.0, the fan speed is constantly slow with the "low" profile and constantly fast with the "high" profile. Regardless of what the card is doing, how much it's heated, or how hard it's working. My suggestion is to adjust fan speed (within a minimum and maximum range) either based on GPU / VRAM frequencies or based on card temperature when a temp sensor is available. This would be most useful with the dynpm method, so fan speed is only set to maximum when you play a game and matches the requirement. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080350 Title: CPU Overheating with ATI driver Radeon HD Mobility graphics To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/1080350/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
