I dont think my fan is running on my Framework 13?

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

I got the Framework 13 AMD Ryzen AI 340, and this issue has been lasting ever since I got this laptop. This issue is where, anytime I run “sensors-detect”, the laptop crashes on a certain exact sensor scan, which is “next adapter: AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 0 (12c-3)”. I heard the fan ramp up, and I know how loud it can get. Though it is still quiet, which is pretty cool. It feels like it never turns on now. Originally, I ran Mint, then Fedora, then right now I am on omarchy. I am thinking about going over to windows for a bit and then running MSI after burner to see whats up. Anyone got some wisdom on this?

Edit 1:

Stress tested all 12 threads and this time I clearly heard fans ramp up. Still confused on why the laptop crashes when I try to scan sensors.

I would recommend getting ectool that @DHowett made available and use it to test the sensors there.

You could then use a command like this to see temps and fan rpms:

sudo ectool temps all && sudo ectool pwmgetfanrpm

This assumes you have moved ectool to somewhere like /usr/local/bin

This will let you see what the fans are doing in real time, at least when the commands are run.

i would get this AUR (en) - fw-fanctrl-ui-git for a ui or this AUR (en) - fw-ectool-git (configs pre set btw) if you are on gnome install the kstatus notify extension and run it (config are set at lazy default my personal perfs is agile) here is where the config file is at /etc/fw-fanctrl/config.json

this works for me on my fwl16 and make sure to run a benchmark afterwards (set to agile mode or you will be confused) you will get fan noise on the login manager
