Greetings all -
I've run into an issue where my GPU fans are not even listed. I run boinc, and would love to get this working properly so that I can continue crunching. I've searched all over and can't seem to find any relatable posts.
nvidia-settings -q all | grep fan, returns nothing at all.
nvidia-settings -q all | grep Fan
Attribute 'GPUFanControlState' (disabled:0[gpu:0]): 1.
'GPUFanControlState' is a boolean attribute; valid values are: 1 (on/true) and 0 (off/false).
'GPUFanControlState' can use the following target types: GPU.
So I don't see a fan:0 to be able to control at all.. unfortunately. When I run nvidia-settings, under thermal settings I do not have any fans listed to control in the gui. I've also tried using the commonly known commands and get the following:
nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1" -a "[fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=50"
Attribute 'GPUFanControlState' (disabled:0[gpu:0]) assigned value 1.
ERROR: Error resolving target specification 'fan:0' (No targets match target specification), specified in assignment
'[fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=50'.
The above seems to make sense since there is no fan:0 device in the first query above.
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains the following including the coolbits bit:

Does anyone have any pointers perhaps? I've run out of my depth apparently.

Quick update, looks like the fans actually work when using gpu_burn, I guess they just aren't designed to be manually used on this card?
