fan running at idle desktop

[runningman84]

I am wondering why my fan is running at 1232 RPM in a idle desktop:

Is this because of the missing overdrive setting?

Are the fans actually spinning? Amdgpu reports fan speed incorrectly when the fans are turned off https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202019

If it is spinning - try increasing temp_min. Also make sure you have fan_semi_passive=True in the config.

It may be possible that your card doesn't support zero-rpm mode (or amdgpu driver can't enable it correctly). In this case, try setting fan_semi_passive=False, and maybe lower fan_pwm_min.

You are right, the fans are actually stopped. As you wrote this seems to be a fan speed report problem...
