Hi James,
Your GPU uses the adt7473 to regulate the fan speed. I would advise you
to use it in order to drive the fan speed.
Changing Nouveau's fan management mode won't help because the lm sensors
guys forbid kernel-side access to the
methods of i2c devices. This forbids Nouveau to be the central location
to drive the fan.
If you, like me, think this is stupid and should be fixed, please be
aware that we tried but the lack of will on the lmsensors
camp is a real issue.
Good luck using the adt7473!
Martin
