The fan speed curve on the Oryx Pro is wild. It seems to have basically two speeds: jet engine takeoff and dead silent. Is there a way to control this better that doesn’t involve editing firmware? I see some posts from earlier this year on this topic but wondering if the situation has evolved — I don’t really want to do something that won’t be well-supported.
I uninstalled tlp when I read the system76 battery tips guide said it conflicts with system76-power which I didn’t realize. I can also use battery saver power mode when the fans are running a lot for seemingly no reason. I think it’s related to microcharging the battery that’s at full power but I’ve been plagued with this same problem on my oryx pro for a few years. I have tried to diagnose and reinstall and monitor everything and nothing makes a big difference.
I am not sure if System76 tests fan-speed control before shipping. A lot of people report being burned by this.
