I am not running any GPU intensive processes. As I said before the temperature goes down drastically after I disable the discrete GPU in the laptop's UEFI. Linux is just using the power hungry discrete GPU, instead of the integrated Intel GPU, for rendering windows and various elements of XFCE. I doubt anything can be done about the hybrid GPU issue on this particular laptop without going deep into the low level driver code.

Are you using a compositor, native or otherwise? Run nvtop to see what occupies the GPU.

I am not using any compositor. I am only using whatever that comes with XFCE.
Edit: Unchecking the "Enable display compositing" option in XFCE's Window Manager Tweaks section had no effect on the temperature of the GPU!

As mentioned already by Shoun2137, although I've no idea if it will help you here, Prime lets you manually configure what runs on what card among other things:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME

"Kernel PCI power management turns off the GPU when not used with PRIME offloading or reverse PRIME. This feature is supported by modesetting, xf86-video-amdgpu, xf86-video-intel, xf86-video-nouveau drivers. "

Ok, what should happen is X11 run on the iGPU (so the dGPU sleeps and cools) and dGPU only used when explicitly asked (i.e. with PRIME=1). I suggest you research how to make X run on the HD5500.

That is definitely not what is happening as we can now see all the X processes running on the amd gpu.  It is still a wonder to me why it is running hot.  It should chew up X without creating so much as a hum.  I suppose the second graphics card is for CUDA or some specialized Mesa usage?

Maybe 20- monitor-configuration.conf in the X config files.

For example see this - Wish I could find actual documentation instead of the Q/A crap - but as it is

https://superuser.com/questions/1590416/how-to-get-x-to-ignore-my-primary-gpu


Adding this to the relevant file in the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d told X to not use the radeon card as my primary GPU. In my case, my file was called "10-radeon.conf". This told X to ignore the GPU that was designated as "Primary" by the boot sequence, and instead use the card matched by the given OutputClass.

Section "OutputClass"
        Identifier "Radeon"
        MatchDriver "radeon"
        Driver "radeon"
        Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
EndSection


I hope this helps.  Bugging is very frustrating and I sincerely feel for your frustration.  Definitely talk to the kernel module maintainer.  Those folks, if inclined, as often a wealth of information, but be kind to them.  They are also living their lives and busy.

You probably know this, but just to post it for the sake of completion

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xrandr

Also, just out of curiosity, if you turn back on the gpu and run out of the terminal, does it still overheat? If so, that strongly suggests a Kernel level problem.

I don' have a 10-radeon.conf file. I only have three files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/: 10-amdgpu.conf, 10-quirks.conf, and 40-libinput.conf. This is the content of the 10-amdgpu.conf file:
Section "OutputClass"
   Identifier "AMDgpu"
   MatchDriver "amdgpu"
   Driver "amdgpu"
   Option "HotplugDriver" "amdgpu"
EndSection

I added Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes" to the 10-amdgpu.conf file but then I couldn't start the graphical session using startx. After adding the "PrimaryGPU" line, startx returned a Fatal Error saying "display was not found."

I am not using a GPU accelerated terminal emulator. At the moment, I am only using urxvt and closing it doesn't affect the dGPU's temperature.

I admit to confusion trying to follow this thread.

Prime or not Prime ?

On windows I imagine it has something similar to Prime whereby the discrete GPU  is only used where needed unless you disable the integrated GPU ?
If you are disabling the integrated GPU then the discrete GPU is going to get hotter.

Add to that the fact that you don't appear to have OpenGL rendering when only using the discrete GPU
Code: [Select]
$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
Error: couldnt find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
which is only going to exacerbate the issue.

Maybe it's user error and you don't have the drivers set up right?
Maybe it's the version of mesa and or the kernel ?

One thing you could try to narrow it down a bit (with the integrated gpu disabled) is disable your display manager and just boot into a terminal. Wait a while and then check is the temp increasing and the fans spinning up ?
If yes then that would suggest a kernel / mesa problem. If no then that suggests it's the X video driver setup or a bug with the driver.

According to this, it could be that the fan kicks in at a lower temperature on Windows than the default in Linux:
 https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/q49t9b/amd_gpu_runs_significantly_hotter_on_linux_than/
The suggestions on there were to create a new fan control profile using various software approaches, all of which seem to be available somewhere -
AUR: amdgpu-fan, radeon profile
Arch repos: corectrl
Artix repos:  cpupower

If you had the fan running at slow speed earlier it might not be audible but still reduce the temperature. Some people there report success.
 There is also a discussion about the GPU memory clock speed being much higher on Linux at idle, presumably there is some way to check this on Windows and Linux. There was supposedly a patch to fix this going to be added in the 5.15 kernel, but it might have stopped working due to a bug currently?

If you are disabling the integrated GPU then the discrete GPU is going to get hotter.
I am not disabling the integrated GPU. My problem is that Prime is not functioning correctly, causing Linux to use the dGPU all the time! The result of Linux utilizing the discrete GPU continuously (even when idle!) is that my laptop gets really warm over time while I am using Linux. Similar to Windows, Linux should have used the integrated Intel GPU by default and activated the discrete AMD GPU only when necessary.

One thing you could try to narrow it down a bit (with the integrated gpu disabled) is disable your display manager and just boot into a terminal. Wait a while and then check is the temp increasing and the fans spinning up ?
If yes then that would suggest a kernel / mesa problem. If no then that suggests it's the X video driver setup or a bug with the driver.
I don't use any Display Manager. I only use startx to start XFCE. The laptops gets warm even on tty with nothing running. The only way for me to prevent overheating on Linux is to disable the dGPU completely.

Mesa updates that came after mesa-1:25.0.5-1 are responsible for causing various issues on VMs: [SOLVED] Unable to Start Graphical Session. I thought maybe the new mesa update is responsible for all overheating issues on my bare metal installation as well. So, I downgraded to mesa-1:25.0.5-1, but the overheating problem didn't go away even after downgrading mesa!

My bad. You talked about disabling the discrete gpu not the integrated

Same difference. If it gets as hot idling on tty1 without X then it surely has to be kernel / mesa ?
But even in X
Code: [Select]
$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
Error: couldnt find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
You have an issue. That can't be right can it. I don't use AMD gpus because they are garbage (flamebait  :P ) but I don't imagine that what it is supposed to say ?

So I think you have more than one problem.

It is still a wonder to me why it is running hot.  It should chew up X without creating so much as a hum.
That's normal. Rendering 60 FPS of a 2D desktop is enough to make it run 10 degrees hotter; in hybrid graphics configuration, the dGPU is practically shut down when not used.

I only have three files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/: 10-amdgpu.conf, 10-quirks.conf, and 40-libinput.conf.
Rename 10-amdgpu.conf to .conf.bak; Xorg does a pretty good job assigning GPU roles by itself and unless you can precisely instruct it how to use each GPU you might confuse it instead. Obviously, you also need xf86-video-intel.
