Ed, Another confirmation of what Eric Harrison taught me about 26 years ago: linux is simple: each tool is little and does one specific job. The problem is that are thousands of little tools. :-) I'll read and learn about fan speed and temperature so I know what I'm doing when adjusting the two video card fans. (The CPU and case fans are quiet; only the RX-580 fans are noisy. Thanks very much for the pointer, Rich

Re: [PLUG] Video card fan noise
"How can I track GPU temperature and fan speed, and adjust the latter?" Radeontop is a good place to start. "Radeontop is a small utility which allows one to monitor the utilization of Radeon GPUs starting from the R600 series and newer using undocumented performance counters in the hardware. The utility works with the free drivers. It displays the utilization of the graphics pipe, event engine, vertex cache,vertex group and tesselator, texture addresser and cache, the shader units and more, both with a relative percent value as well as a colorful bar diagram." Reference - Synaptic package manager - Debian Buster A starting place for fan speed control. "Seems like you need to be able to create a custom fan curve. Try Corectrl, rather simple and has gui." just image from internet but corectrl gui Add PPA sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ernstp/mesarc Update sudo apt-get update Install Corectrl sudo apt install -y corectrl Reference - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1394954/how-to-control-amd-gpu-fan-speed

[PLUG] Video card fan noise
I just installed a 51Risc Radeon-RX580 video card with two fans. They're quite noisy. Web searches suggest that the 'fan curve' can be adjusted but that appears to be a function of AMD's Windows software. How can I track GPU temperature and fan speed, and adjust the latter? Rich
