MSI GF75 Thin 8RD and cooler management for Linux Mint (fancontrol)

Post by Alexander »

Good day.

Please help me set up fancontrol on my MSI GF75 Thin 8RD laptop.
There is such a feeling that the program does not see the sensors, or cannot control them, so the computer becomes very hot, the temperature of the processor cores and the NVideo card is about 99-100 degrees Celsius.
Here is the output of the programs:
sensors-detect

sudo sensors-detect
# sensors-detect version 3.6.0
# System: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. GF75 Thin 8RD [REV:1.0] (laptop)
# Board: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. MS-17F1
# Kernel: 5.4.0-74-generic x86_64
# Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz (6/158/10)

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.

pwmconfig:

# pwmconfig version 3.6.0
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.

We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.

/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed



You can see that the speed of coolers was not found.

Tell me how you can enable control of coolers in the system?
Everything works very well under Windows 10, it stands as the second system. But Linux is needed for work.

Welcome to the forum, Alexander.

It is possible you might get better control for your 8th gen Intel computer by using the 5.8 kernel which is available in Update Manager.

Open Update Manager. Select View > Linux Kernels and click Continue. Make sure 5.8 is selected on the left panel and then click the top-most option on the right panel. An "Install" button will appear. Install the kernel and then reboot for it to become active.

If that does not help, please give us information about your install by entering this command in a terminal: inxi -Fxxxrz
Click </> from the mini toolbar above the textbox where you type your reply and then place your cursor between the code markers and paste the results of the command between the code markers [code]Results[/code]. This will let us know how Mint sees your hardware.

Switching to a different kernel did not help, the information is the information you asked for. I would be glad to have your help with temperature or fan speed control.

Re: MSI GF75 Thin 8RD and cooler management for Linux Mint (fancontrol)

Sorry to hear you were ill. I hope you are recovering.

The temperature reading on your computer is listed in the inxi output. While the Nvidia temperature is not that high, the cpu temperature is on the high side.

Sensors:
System Temperatures: cpu: 89.0 C mobo: N/A gpu: nvidia temp: 52 C
Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A

There is a newer kernel which has been released in Update Manager. I do not know if it has better cpu temperature control, but the 5.8 kernel goes end of life in August, so you would need to upgrade pretty soon anyhow.

Open Update Manager. Select View > Linux Kernels and click Continue. Make sure 5.11 is selected on the left panel and then click the top-most option on the right panel. An "Install" button will appear. Install the kernel and then reboot for it to become active.

I suggest checking your computer's BIOS/UEFI to see if there is a fan setting in it.

The other option is to see if there is any fan control in the Nvida settings. The Nvidia temperature is not really high, but maybe having that fan run (if there is a separate GPU fan) will help keep your laptop cooler overall.

Thank you, I'll try to look at the BIOS settings, but I don't know what exactly to look for there to turn on the fans.
I switched to kernel 5.11, but it did not help, the vetilators are still not detected.

Every manufacturer handles it differently, so I do not know if your BIOS has a setting. In my BIOS, there is a setting to either have the fan run all the time or just run based on temperature.

There may also be a setting for the fan related to your Nvidia card in the Nvidia X Server Settings app, but the Nvidia temperature looks good so I do not know if that is a factor in this issue.

Well your sensors output confirms what was in the inxi, linux isn't seeing the fan. Best I can suggest is follow up on SMG's comments, have a good look around in BIOS.

Do you know for sure that the fan works?

According to this GF75 Thin 8RD BIOS you are not running the most recent version which is 102. It is possible updating will help with this issue.

Yes, the fans work perfectly, since the second system is Windows and everything works fine in it, the fan speed depends on the temperature, you can hear it by the sound of the fans and the temperature of the processor cores does not rise above 56 degrees. From this I conclude that the problem here is in Linux, namely, in its not seeing or not controlling the speed of the fans. It's a pity of course that this is happening. I just don't think that updating the BIOS will somehow help in this, or am I wrong?

I know manufacturers do make BIOS/UEFI changes so there is better temperature control, but I know that because those manufacturers have listed what changes they made. There is no information listed on the link I found to indicate what was changed for your computer's BIOS/UEFI so I do not know what they changed.

Linux-based distros and Windows do not get and use of information from the BIOS/UEFI in the same way so I would not make the assumption that because it works in Windows as it currently is that updating will not make a different in Mint. I've seen too many people post on this forum about how a BIOS update fixed an issue they were having to not let you know there is one available. Not all updates fix issues, but that update is the only suggestion I currently have.

Re: MSI GF75 Thin 8RD and cooler management for Linux Mint (fancontrol)

Post by AndyMH »

You are still running a 5.8 kernel, try a 5.11 kernel. Clutching at straws here, but it might help.

Also have a look in /proc/acpi, is there anything in there fan related, this is on a thinkpad:
Screenshot from 2021-07-24 12-35-50.png
Picked this up from https://github.com/lm-sensors/lm-sensors on lm-sensors:
Laptops, on the other hand, rarely expose any hardware monitoring
chip. They often have some BIOS and/or ACPI magic to get the CPU
temperature value, but that's about it. For such laptops, the lm-sensors
package is of no use (sensors-detect will not find anything), and you have
to use acpi instead.

This package doesn't contain chip-specific knowledge. It will support all
the hardware monitoring chips your kernel has drivers for. In other words,
if you find out that you have unsupported hardware (e.g. sensors-detect
told you so) then it means that you need a more recent kernel, or you
even need to wait for a new kernel driver to be written. Updating the
lm-sensors package itself will not help.

Given my experience with MSI in the past, I wouldn't expect any help, but nothing to lose:
https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GF75-Thin-8RD
Register and ask for tech support help. I would expect them to dismiss linux out of hand, but at least they should be able to tell you if there are any settings in BIOS wrt the fan and how to find them.

I had that laptop and I unchanged it because the CPU got very hot on both linux and win
