<pre>Thanks for all this information. It seems like NVIDIA changed the default
minimum temperature before increasing the fan speed
(<a href="http://code.woboq.org/linux/linux/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/subdev/therm/fan.c.html#195">http://code.woboq.org/linux/linux/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/subdev/therm/fan.c.html#195</a>).
Based on your information, I would guess it is set to 60°C instead of the 40°C
I saw on some card. It is very possible that they set a different value per
chipset.
I'll check again with a recent version of the blob what is the default
temperature at which the fan speed starts being increased but I don't think the
fix should be to bump the value (that I will set to the minimum value I found
across the boards). The proper fix would be to let users change this value in
sysfs.
I'll keep the bug open as a reminder but my time is very limited this summer.
If you feel like writing the patch (in nouveau_hwmon.c), I would gladly review
it!
Thanks for reporting :)</pre>
