Step 1. Install Flathub Support.

https://flatpak.org/setup/

Choose the relevant steps for your distribution.

Step 2. Install GreenWithEnvy

https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.leinardi.gwe

Click the Install button and it should open in your Software Centre.

Alternatively install with the following Terminal command.

flatpak install flathub com.leinardi.gwe

Step 3. Enable Overclocking & Fan Control

Enable nVidia Coolbits to enable Overclocking and Fan Control functionality.

Add the following to your xorg.conf file between the Section “Device” and EndSection:

Option “Coolbits” “12”

For example:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce GTX 1080"
Option "Coolbits" "12"
EndSection

For most distributions, the xorg.conf file is located at /etc/X11.

Save the changes and reboot to apply.

If this file does not exist, then run the below in a Terminal window to generate one.

sudo nvidia-xconfig

Step 4. Usage

Create a new profile for Fan Control or Overclock, click on the pencil icon, set your parameters and then click the Apply button.
