Description
I can't tick on the "Enable GPU Fan Settings". The check mark just won't stick. It does get enabled, but at zero fan speed. And even though it looks enabled i cant move the slider. The only way to disable it is to spam the check box rapidly until I see "GPU Fan control disabled" on the bottom left. Then the fans spin again with the default hw profile.
Hopefully, this video can help explain. I added the coolbits option the my xorg.conf file. Not sure what else to try.

Research direction
Reproduce the GPU fan checkbox and slider behavior in Thermal Settings using Arch Linux, kernel 6.0.11, and nvidia-settings 525.60.11-2, with the reported coolbits option in xorg.conf. Trace the GUI behavior around enabling and disabling GPU fan control; done means the check mark stays enabled, the slider is usable, and disabling restores the default hardware profile.
