Coil whine after rocm installation

 

I have a Radon RX 6700 XT on Ubuntu 24.04.

I have just installed ROCm 6.3 using this link:  https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/graphics/radeon-rx/radeon-rx-6000-series/amd-r...

I have also installed Ollama using their install script:  https://ollama.com/download

 

In /opt/, I have two ROCm installations:

 

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Mar 7 15:25 rocm -> /etc/alternatives/rocm/
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Mar 7 15:25 rocm-6.3.4/

 

When launching games (Baldur’s Gate 3), coil whine is fine: the sound was the same as before, very subtle.

However, when launching Deepseek-R1:14B, there is horrible coil whine when the AI responds.

 

I want to point out that the card fans were not turning after installation, even after a reboot. I used fancontrol to verify that they could work, and CoreCtrl to make sure they work every time.

I don't think it is normal that the fans stopped working after the ROCm install. Maybe it is linked?
