Problem Description: From my testing on a live USB, the performance power profile does not seem to increase fan performance which I’d definitely need to play games based on my experience in Windows 10.
Relevant System Information: I’m using an ASUS ExpertBook B9 with an i7-1165G7, no dedicated GPU.
What I’ve Tried: I read Ubuntu’s power profile documentation and searched the forum if anyone else had this issue.
I understand it’s probably because my hardware doesn’t support the power profile feature but I am wondering if there is any other way I can improve performance by increasing fan speed, otherwise I cannot make the switch to Linux. I’m willing to try a newer version of Ubuntu if the interim release has a relevant fix/feature for this problem.
I dug around looking for a solution for a while because I once had an issue on a desktop. But that appears to be a whole different thing than laptops, and apparently yours is a bit of a difficult one. The only helpful thing I found was to try setting a profile in BIOS/UEFI. But don’t take my word for it, YMMV.
Good luck tx
Luckily for me the fans are working mostly fine on 25.10. I realized they don’t immediately ramp up by changing your performance profile like they would for me on Windows, instead they also require your computer to be under enough workload before ramping up. 24.04 would probably work as well but I haven’t tested it.
