Description K.Ohta 2018-02-17 11:08:36 UTC

With mesa 17.3 (and maybe kernel >= 4.13), using GL,VAAPI or VDPAU, GPU temperature makes to be too hot.

Almost upper than 60℃ with RADEON HD7770 (less than 15℃ at room).
When not using GL etc, temperature upper than 50℃.
With earlier version of GL, VAAPI and VDPAU, temperature is less than 60℃ (at worst, less than 70℃).

Regards,
Ohta.

are you using amdgpu.ko kernel driver?

if so... 
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=298468.0

Do you see the same powerplay error messages in the kernel log as described on that thread. There is a workaround to use fancontrol script from lm_sensors

Also try reading your bios file from your card, if you can't it will print an error about PCIE MMIO BAR regions. I have a theory this relates to a buggy motherboard bios efi code - as do others.

Sorry for later.
I don't use AMDGPU, (still) using RADEON kernel driver.
But, this seems to same issue.
I install fancontrol and set parameters of /etc/fancontrol , this issue seems to be fixed.
Thanks for your advice.

Regards,
Ohta.
