So I just wanted to be able to set the maximum speed manually, same as hitting Fn+Esc in Windows.įirstly, nbfc with Gigabyte AERO 14KV8 config works perfectly (at the time of writing there was no specific Aero 15 config). In my case there was already some basic automatic fan speed control, but when I was running Tensorflow scripts heavily using GPU, for some reason the fans were clearly not running at their maximum speed (simply they were much less noisy than in Windows) and the laptop heated too much. I'm pretty happy using Ubuntu but if I could control the fans it would be perfect, the Fn keys problem can be easy to solve with mapping that function keys to another custom keyboard shortcut, and since I only use Ubuntu and Windows 10, it's easy to remember the Grub menu too.Ĭould anyone guide to know if I can control the fans, please?Īfter trying a bunch of things I managed to get the manual fan control over Gigabyte Aero 15 running Linux Mint. I want to know if it's possible to control the fans under Ubuntu since it gets pretty hot under some load using this OS.Įxcept that quirk and some others: some Fn keys doesn't work at all, and when connecting an external monitor Grub does not show (I suspect this is a problem between Intel and Nvidia GPUs). I'm very happy with it, except that I can't control the fans when running Ubuntu, meanwhile this is possible under Windows 10. This is an awesome laptop, thin, compact, lightweight yet at the same time powerfull and a long-lasting battery life.
Intel Core i7-7700HQ and an Nvidia GTX 1060 with 6Gb. This laptop is from 2017, with a 7th gen. I wish to know if anybody from here owns too a Gigabyte Aero 15 laptop and if he/she can control the fans.
