Fan control on 8800GTS 512

Postby stopthekilling77 on Fri Aug 08, 2008 3:31 pm

The version I have is already OCed high to 730/972 but I would like to see the memory up a smidge more if possible. Problem is that my fan wont budge over 37-40% (~514-540rpm) and I'd like to have some more headroom temperature-wise.
I got ATITool v0.26 but I don't see any fan control on it for my card. I'm sure RivaTuner has fan control, but if I remember correctly, it's a more cumbersome program to use. Are there any simple apps to control nVidia GPU fan speeds?

I think it's on the bottom of the two clicky things on the main window, under the hardware 'chip' icon.

And its either straight there or on one of the tabs at the top.

Thanks guys! I slid it from 40% to 100% and saw my temps drop from 75 C to 57 C in less than a minute! (Folding higher priority, at 100%)
The noise is only slightly more noticeable considering my case fans, too!

If that is the card you bought from me, yeah, I ran the fan @ 60% with Rivatuner. I never could hear it over an of the other fans and it always stayed very cool. The G92 fans are way quieter than the G80 versions on the GTS...I'm not sure why they are on so low by default.

I've used a few fan settings so far and I'm seeing that at 70% the noise level is completely unnoticeable, so I'm keeping it there considering that its only 1 degree Celsius over what running F@H with fans at 100% is (55/56)

And FZ1, it is the same card :mrgreen: HELL of an upgrade from the 7800GT :supz:
