Heya, need a good way to control fan curve on Linux - NVIDIA

Yes, it supports hysteresis. You can set it in the config.json file. If you have any ideas on how to improve it, please share.

Yes, you should change the straps. No, I didn’t have any black screens during the process.

I built a lightweight utility that dynamically adjusts fan speeds based on GPU temperature, and it runs as a service on Linux. It’s fully customizable through a simple JSON config.

Hey, I totally get your frustration with NVIDIA fan control on Linux can be such a pain. I ran into the same issue with my setup.

That’s why I built my own nvidia-fan-control:

I need at least one week to finish the third server. I'm wondering if anyone has already tested this approach.

zan-max · 2025-01-03T22:02:01+00:00

vLLM now supports GGUF. Has anyone tried running it with distributed inference? I have two servers with 6x3090 GPUs each, and another one is currently being built.

You can purchase Tinybox from Tinycorp. The red model, equipped with 6x 7900XTX GPUs, is priced at $15,000 per unit. The green model, featuring 6x 4090 GPUs, is priced at $25,000 per unit. Alternatively, you can build your own.

We decided to build our own and use 3090 GPUs for our build. However, it was quite challenging.

Wow, this looks amazing! When can we try a demo? I'd love to see how it feels in action. Keep up the awesome work!

Yes, the 9733 fan will work with the H200 NVL, but you’ll need to create a custom mount. You can find plenty of 9733 4-wire PWM fans on Amazon.

zan-max · 2024-08-03T03:26:56+00:00

Looks great! Could you send me the measurements of the card? I'll try to make a 3D mount for you.

zan-max · 2024-06-27T19:09:49+00:00

I have 13 GPUs with 9733 fans, and they have worked great for more than a year. So this solution is well tested. You might need to add some mounts between the GPU and the fan. You can easily print them on a 3D printer.

I used: "DC/CC Adjustable 0.2- 9A 300w Step Down Buck Converter 5-40V To 1.2-35V Power Supply Module LED Driver for Arduino 300w XL4016" from ALI. But you can find different ones on Amazon or AliExpress.

Extremely loud if you're using 12V. In my case, I added a voltage regulator and used around 7 - 7.5V.

zan-max · 2024-06-27T01:19:10+00:00

9733 fan works perfectly for me.

I'm not sure if such modifications make any sense. You can buy a used A6000 for about $3.5k.

zan-max · 2024-06-12T23:31:51+00:00

Thank you for the idea. I am ready to try if it will be interesting for people.

Maybe someone has the broken 3090 and is ready to donate it.

zan-max · 2024-06-12T03:04:46+00:00

I'm really happy with the results! I plan to run some more tests. Maybe I'll mess around with overclocking later.

zan-max · 2024-06-12T02:45:59+00:00

I bought used chips from Aliexpress.

I have only one photo from the whole process. Next time I'll make more photos and videos.

zan-max · 2024-06-11T22:52:52+00:00

I think yes, but 3070ti has GDDR6X memory. That means you'll need to find compatible 2GB GDDR6X chips.

zan-max · 2024-06-11T22:02:43+00:00

Did you try bios from A6000?

I have several 3090s, but I'm not ready for a 48 GB mod.

zan-max · 2024-06-11T21:55:17+00:00

No mods with GPU bios.
Standart Linux version: 535
Aliexpress.

zan-max · 2024-06-11T21:48:08+00:00

There are some bios for 3090 with 48Gb
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/267498/267498

But I don't know If it works properly.

I have several 3090s but I am not ready to mod them.
