This Dell, nowhere near as nice as yours was ok with fglrx but since 16.04 runs hot and noisy with the open source drivers. What worked for me was to install the i8kutils package and create a file at /etc/i8kmon.conf...
Code:
sudo apt install i8kutils
Code:
sudo nano /etc/i8kmon.conf
and paste in the following contents...
Code:
# Run as daemon, override with --daemon option
set config(daemon) 0
# Automatic fan control, override with --auto option
set config(auto) 1
# Report status on stdout, override with --verbose option
set config(verbose) 1
# Status check timeout (seconds), override with --timeout option
set config(timeout) 20
# For computer with 2 fans, use a variant of this instead:
# Temperature thresholds: {fan_speeds low_ac high_ac low_batt high_batt}
#set config(0) {{-1 0} -1 47 -1 60}
#set config(1) {{-1 1} 36 61 50 70}
#set config(2) {{-1 1} 50 75 60 80}
#set config(3) {{-1 2} 65 128 70 128}
set config(0) {{0 0} -1 55 -1 55}
set config(1) {{1 1} 36 60 36 60}
set config(2) {{1 1} 52 70 52 70}
set config(3) {{2 2} 65 78 65 78}
set config(4) {{2 2} 75 128 75 128}
# end of file
Doesn't usually need a daemon restart but it doesn't hurt..
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/i8kmon restart
Runs pretty well now but I try not to tax it too hard.
