I’m using an ASUS ExpertBook B9 with an i7-1165G7, no dedicated GPU. I always need to switch to a performance profile in order to run games. This works fine on Windows 10 but when trying the performance power profile on an Ubuntu 24.04.3 live USB I do not hear any difference in fan speed, presumably because GNOME’s power profile feature doesn’t work with my hardware.
Is there any other way I can increase fan speed before playing games and then bring them back down to normal when I’m done gaming? I asked about this on Ubuntu’s forum but got no response.
Software fan control?
Why not just set your fan curves in UEFI?
Or try Cooler Control.
Pretty sure power profiles are just for power/battery/CPU/APU/iGPU power use/limits. Perhaps kernel’s governor settings even.
That only really applies to custom built desktops. Almost no oem machines give you any real options in the bios. Outside of maybe gaming laptops.
Oh dam. 🫠.
