Well…..I’ve been waiting for 6.16 for quite a while now. With this kernel comes welcome monitoring of Intel graphics temp & (in the case of discrete graphics) fan speeds.
There are no guides on the internet for reading these yet, but you can see them with the updated version of nvtop & I’ve teased the readings out for my conky.
To get Conky to display Temp & Fan Speed:
Temp: ${execpi 10 cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/*/temp2_input | cut -c 1-2} °C
Fan Speed: ${execpi 10 cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/*/fan1_input}
Nice to have!!!
In addition, there have been several “bumps” to Intel graphics. Increasing frame rates, using less memory & generally running more efficiently.
Now if Intel “really” brings a B770 or B780 to the table in the next quarter……I’m set.
