Title: GPU fan always at 100%, can not change the thermal settings Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Hello, since "Precise Pangolin" upgrade, my GeForce 8800 GT fan is always at 100%, it's very noisy!!! On Oneiric I put this lines in xorg.conf: Option "Coolbits" "4" to enable thermal settings and control the fan. It works great until I upgraded to 12.04: at Xorg start, fan is at maximum speed. If I go to nvidia sttings to change the fan speed, my change are not kept when I click on "Apply": http://youtu.be/zuU1QNgUt6E If I try to change the fan speed in command line: # nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1 Attribute 'GPUFanControlState' (tipingouin-home:0[gpu:0]) assigned value 1. # nvidia-settings -a [fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeed=40 Attribute 'GPUCurrentFanSpeed' (tipingouin-home:0[fan:0]) assigned value 40. nothing happened. Thanks for your help. LGDN.
