I tested the 177 driver again. Unlike the first time I tried it where the fan would cycle high and low now the fan was always running at max. This was right from startup after the computer had been off for a while. Idle temps showed 44-46 C with 177 whereas with 173 idle temps are at 51 C (but fan is nearly inaudible).
>From the links to the nvidia forums I think it's clear that this is nvidia messing with fan speeds to take care of their failing hardware. I'll just wait for the next iteration of driver and hope they back off a little on the fan speed madness. Either case, I doubt there is anything ubuntu devs can do about it. -- Latest nvidia driver for Interpid (x64) makes my fan spin all the time. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
