In my limited experience, setting it too high had no effect. If you set this too low, you will get an error. Where the 0 is my GPU number, and the 90 is the maximum power in watts. =END OF ANSWER=Īnd as an extra tidbit not asked for in this question, you can also adjust the power output of your Nvidia GPU with: sudo nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl 90 nvidia-settings -a '/GPUFanControlState=1' -a '/GPUTargetFanSpeed=55'įor a much more detailed overview of this feature including multiple GPU fans, check out this thorough documentation Nvidia Overclocking and Coolingįor a somewhat rambling and wayward thread which lead me to the above link, check out Set Fanspeed in Linux from Terminal

Importantly I note that my 1070 Ti is GPU 0. Gives information about the GPU(s) and their numbers. To tell nvidia-xconfig to allow the fan to be controlled in the command line. If the card is an EVGA graphics card, overclocking is covered under the warranty term.To control Nvidia GPU fan speed via Terminal on Linux Mint 20 with a 1070 Ti: sudo nvidia-xconfig -cool-bits=4 Please consult with your video card manufacturer before using this application. Note: This application has many features and achievements that may void your graphics card's manufacturer warranty. Profiling system allowing up to 10 profiles with hotkey.
