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.
OP don’t get scared of the BIOS fan tuning UI if you have one. Your PC will throttle before it damages itself.
And yes, I stand by fancontrol. It’s a great utility, even on Windows. It’s much better than the proprietary crap like Armoury Crate from Asus especially.
