Re: GPU fan spin 100% without DE

What is the GPU?

Does the GPU fan only "go mad" when booting Arch Linux? How long does it go mad (minutes)?

The GPU is Zotac - GeForce GTX 670 2GB.

it does only on arch, it does until i load the DE, after the DE is loaded it goes back to normal.

Could you see if starting the "nvidia-persistenced" daemon helps? Like so:

sudo systemctl start nvidia-persistenced

Re: GPU fan spin 100% without DE

Ok, I just wanted to see whether you're using the nvidia blob and whether this is a hybrid system.
You might be able to twist things using nvidia-smi, notably limiting the power drain or the clock speeds. (Then unset it when starting X11)
