Hi there,
I'm using a Gigabyte GeForce 8800GT with 169.21 drivers. Like most people with this card I'm having overheating problems when gaming and after trawling the internet for solutions I downloaded Rivatuner 2.06 and followed the instructions ( http://www.guru3d.com/article/article/449/ ).
My concern is that the fan seems to be completely unresponsive to the profile commands. The temperature is still hitting the 90's (at which point the system crashes) and there is no audible increase in the fan speed (i'm told the stock fan is extremely loud when at 60 - 100%).
I've also noticed that in Rivatuners Hardware Monitor there is no option to display the fan rpm. I don't know if that's significant but I noticed there was a fan rpm graph visible in the tutorial pics so maybe this will mean something to someone with more experience.
I also tried the short method simply boosting the speed to 100% in Low Level Fan Control - also unresponsive.
If anyone can help me out with this i'd be grateful - been in front of my computer for 3 nights straight and I think i'm developing blood pressure problems from the frustration.
