Happy to supply any info that might help. On Arch based Antergos with the patched realtek driver, and powertop tunables set to good, CPU package reaches C7 and fan issue is resolved. Only other difference I can think of is that I have acpi_osi="!Windows 2015" as a kernel boot parameter. -- You

I do not consider it resolved. In my comment I said there was *some* improvement after making many archaic tweaks. However it's still not working right even after making those tweaks. I'm not sure why the status was set to "Fix Released" as I do not think there ever was a "fix" -- You received t

I've changed the status of the bug to "Confirmed". It lets me change the status for some reason. I guess because I originally submitted the bug. A while back someone from canonical set it as "Fix Released," but like everyone else, I still have the bug with latest versions of everything. So I hav

I'm also interested in hearing if the fan issue is solved on 17.10. Please keep us updated. I think I've found the reason the fans turn on, and I believe I found a work-around under Arch Linux. After a good bit of research, I think the issue is caused by the CPU package not being able to get to l

Julo Petko, Strange, the patched driver works perfectly for me. I'm on kernel 4.13.8, maybe that has something to do with it. Also, even with the patched driver you MUST set the tunables to GOOD in powertop, otherwise the CPU package won't get to C7. Another thing to check - did you do a cold bo

With the patched r8169 driver Everything seems to be working properly on Arch when plugged in, so it must be something Ubuntu specific. I am using bumblebee/bbswitch to disable the nvidia gpu. Where as Ubuntu uses something called "prime-select" to switch between GPUs. I am using kernel 4.13.

Package C7 is the best I can achive as well with the patched r8169 driver & all tunables set to GOOD. But the fan issue seems to be solved for me with it. The fan rarely even comes on, when it does, it shuts off a few seconds later, as expected. -- You received this bug notification because you

I've noticed that without the nvidia driver installed the GPU temp sensor always reads 1c. After the nvidia driver is installed it reports the correct temp. I think probably not related to the fan issue. Also it seems strange that the fans stopping didn't survive a reboot. I've noticed that if

@penalvch: I can confirm the problem still exists on 4.9.0-040900rc4-generic I also can confirm that taking the bottom of the laptop off and blowing cool air in there shuts off the fans. Monitoring CPU temp while doing this, it's around 25c - but it seems to vary, sometimes 26c, sometimes 24c.
