I’m using an ASUS ExpertBook B9 with an i7-1165G7, no dedicated GPU. I always need to switch to a performance profile in order to run games. This works fine on Windows 10 but when trying the performance power profile on an Ubuntu 24.04.3 live USB I do not hear any difference in fan speed, presumably because GNOME’s power profile feature doesn’t work with my hardware.

Is there any other way I can increase fan speed before playing games and then bring them back down to normal when I’m done gaming? I asked about this on Ubuntu’s forum but got no response.

    There are a lot of possible ways to validate this, namely just downloading a benchmarking tool and using it. Is there a reason you don’t want to do that?

      I never thought of it but that’s a good idea. Only thing is that it’d have to take up little storage space. If you have any recommendations let me know!
