Hi everyone,

I am in the midst of troubleshooting why my fans are not turning on despite the PC booting.

The motherboard is an MSI x670e gaming plus WiFi. The CPU cooler is a Noctua NH-D15 with two fans.

Things I have tried or will try so far…

1. Update bios version… (y) Didn’t fix anything.
2. After BIOS update, see if changing power setting to PCM turns the fans on. (n)

All the connections are slotted in properly, so I’m not sure what’s the matter with the system… Mint is already installed, so it’s weird that none of the fans turn on. Including the GPU.

This is my first Linux build out of the box… Should I be looking for any drivers in particular?

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x GPU: Radeon RX 7800
