    You're making a lot of assumptions there. Not everything has to have a curve. It's a fan. It could just be lazily programmed to run at its highest RPM without any user settings. It's a feature because someone has to write multiple "if X then Y's" all throughout the code so the driver knows that below a certain temp you want the RPM to be zero, they create variables so the user can define those certain temps, and then we as the users get to go and use it.

    Just because you've become so accustomed to that being a feature that exists in so many places that you don't even see it as a feature making you jaded to something else picking it up doesn't make it any less of a feature.

    As for people not understanding why some of us always ask AMD to bring their graphical control panel for Linux too, this is one of the many reasons!
    If they did, things like these would've been wired in the Linux drivers too a long time ago.
    Personally not only that i want to have the ability to toggled this feature on or off but I also want to be able to set the threshold temperature depending on what I'm doing and how much noise I want to have.

    So I'm really happy that it's finally here, but I'm extremely disappointed that it missed the LTS kernel and the fact that AMD cares so little about Linux users experience with their products!
    Anyway, congratulations and many thanks to the one who implemented it!
    I'm able to control my RX 7900's cooler behavior via LACT already. The only annoying bug I hit is this one, but it seems to be purely visual and not affecting performance.

    Zero RPM tends to be enabled by defautl, yes, but these patches are about controlling its behavior. I.e. if you don't want it or to increase/decrease the threshold.

    Phoronix: Linux 6.13 To Allow Controlling Zero RPM Feature For Radeon RX 7000 Series GPUs

    Sent out yesterday was an AMDGPU/AMDKFD kernel driver pull request with the last few feature additions and patches slated for the upcoming Linux 6.13 kernel merge window. Alongside other AMD kernel graphics driver updates, the new driver code with Radeon RX 7000 series RDNA3 graphics cards will finally allow controlling the zero RPM fan feature under Linux...
