Why you probably want a "Blower" GFX for multi-GPU's

I see two differences with my xorg.conf file. In the “Screen” section, mine reads like:

Section “Screen”
Identifier “Screen0”
Device “Device0”
Monitor “Monitor0”
DefaultDepth 24
Option “Coolbits” “4”
SubSection “Display”
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

Differences are that:

  1. I do not have the Option “AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration” “True” line
  2. I have Coolbits set to “4” rather than “31”. “4” is all you need for fan control. “31” enables overclocking and other features that I would leave out.

Suggest editing you xorg.conf (back it up first!) to remove the lines Option “AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration” “True”
then change Coolbits to 4. You need to do this for every Screen entry in your config file.
