I have a PC with Ubuntu Gnome 16.04, a RX 470 and the latest mesa drivers.
How do i control the fan? I searched for a way online, and it was confusing and it seems it didnt work. My gpu is heating up a lot.
Is there a easy way? Like a Evga Precision/Afterburner way to control the fans?
Thank you everyone

Apparently somebody has made a repository with it on Ubuntu, though I haven't tested it myself being an Arch user:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:trebelnik-stefina/radeon-profile
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install radeon-profile
(from http://www.apolitech.com/2017/04/how-to-install-radeon-profile-on-ubuntu.html)
If that doesn't work, there are build instructions on the webpage to compile it yourself. Good luck! :)
that says that works only on amdgpu driver, but its working pretty good here with mesa
