I’m using an ASUS ExpertBook B9 with an i7-1165G7, no dedicated GPU. I always need to switch to a performance profile in order to run games. This works fine on Windows 10 but when trying the performance power profile on an Ubuntu 24.04.3 live USB I do not hear any difference in fan speed, presumably because GNOME’s power profile feature doesn’t work with my hardware.

Is there any other way I can increase fan speed before playing games and then bring them back down to normal when I’m done gaming? I asked about this on Ubuntu’s forum but got no response.

    Your computer will automatically increase fan speed when it starts working hard.

      I considered that might be the case, but I was just hoping to test it on a live USB before installing Linux as that’d save me a lot of time and trouble. If it doesn’t work I’d ultimately need to install Windows 11 instead until I can get a computer with better compatibility.

    There are a lot of possible ways to validate this, namely just downloading a benchmarking tool and using it. Is there a reason you don’t want to do that?

      I never thought of it but that’s a good idea. Only thing is that it’d have to take up little storage space. If you have any recommendations let me know!

    You can use fancontrol-gui to fine tune a curve, but generally the bios has a solution. I dont believe the gpu fans can be tuned from bios or fancontrol if thats a priority. For the gpu i use GWE (green with envy) for Nvidia I dont know about AMD. Best of luck

    Edit* just re read the post, integrated graphics. So thats useless unless you have a second pc or smthn
