AMD GPU fan runs constantly even after disabling DGPU

I have a HP-Pavilion dv6 6121TX, with AMD 6770m gpu.

The fan of the gpu runs constantly even after disabling it using the following command

echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

the output for "cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" is as follows

0:DIS: :Off:0000:01:00.0
1:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0

It shows that the DGPU is off and yet the fan for the same runs continuously at full speed.

Would be really grateful for any suggestions.

Thank you.
