Everything greyed out on MSI GT62VR 6RE (2016) #159
Comments
Hello, run the following command in terminal and send the result I'll see when I have some time. |
Hello,
The specified device/file /sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io exists. |
I disabled secure boot, and things changed a lot! What works
What doesnt work:
Not sure: Regarding the power modes, what do they actually do compared to the intel pstate driver? I can test more if you want. Hexdump: |
Regarding the fan speeds, I don't think it gets the max fan speeds right. My CPU temperature is around 42°C, and fan 1 speed is set to 18% if below 52°C, running with 2500rpm. I don't think my fan can run with 13888rpm(=100% if 18%=2500rpm)?! And the slider even goes above 100%! Actually I don't want to risk damaging it, so I won't try. In cooler boost mode, the displayed fan speed is 3500rpm, I would believe that's the maximum. |
I tested a bit, and I'm honestly not sure if I can trust the displayed fan speeds. If I set the speed manually to a percentage that should match what was shown when cooler boost is active (25%), the speed went up to around 7000rpm, where I stopped it. The fan noise sounded completely different than cooler boost, I cannot say if faster or slower, I can't remember the fans sounding like this in windows. Cooler boost sounded very much the same as on windows. Also, if I uncheck the "Activate extended fan control" checkbox, the system doesnt go back to default behaviour but keeps the current manual fan profile active. |
Observing the rpm figures on fan 1 and fan 2, they jump around a lot, even show numbers like 94000rpm from time to time, which is in no way reflected in the actual fan behaviour. |
My main concern is: Can I damage the fans by playing with the sliders? |
Hello,
my model is not on the list of tested models. I installed the application according to the instructions, and after reboot the symbol showed up in the tray. However, everything but cooler boost is greyed out, and cooler boost does not work.
"Info" Page shows nothing, which might mean my device is not supported? I was able to confirm by lsmod that ec_sys is active, however I don't know how to check if write is enabled.
Any help is appreciated, I would really like to get fan control to work. lmsensors does not detect my fans, unfortunately.
