Hi,
Is there a way to retrieve the GPU temp? Is there any embedded sensor that can be read out?
Nope. Maybe the Linux Catalyst drivers do this though.
You should be worried about the shorter lifetime of the card due to high temps. Yeah, but we're not using any 2D/3D functionality/acceleration under Linux, so the GPU shouldn't be that hot, is it?
It is hot. GPUs don't seem to have "idle calls" like CPUs. They run hot all the time unless you reduce the clocks (Catalyst does this). The fan would stay silent if it wasn't hot (it's BIOS controlled). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
