9800gt rivatuner fan monitoring always says 100%

[VengeVega]

I just purchased a 9800gt. I'm using the latest version of rivatuner(2.20) to setup fan speeds based on gpu temps. I have the scheduler set up to start at 60%. When my temp hits 55C it goes up to 70%, 60C to 80% and on up to 100%. I have "reference fan duty cycle%" setup so I can see if my fan is adjusting properly. The problem is, it always says it's running at 100%. I know for a fact it's not. I can manually set it to 100% I can hear to the fan increase. The scheduler seems to be working properly based on sound, but I would like to be able to monitor the speed with a tray icon just to be sure. The data provider settings are set at "built in data provider" and I don't have the option to change that. Any ideas?

I forgot to mention, I am using 175.31 forceware drivers. I don't want to upgrade to the 180 drivers since there have been some serious issues with those for some people.

get 178 then. stable as something thats very stable.

The version I've had the best luck with 177.79. After tring a least a half dozen, above and below this driver. If you have decent download speeds you may want to try 4 or 5, to see which one runs the smoothest on your system.

Having the fastest frps doesn't mean smoother game play.

I upgrade to 178 but rivatuner is still not displaying the proper fan speed. It's not a big deal as long accurately adjusting the speed. And I can pretty much tell by the sound of the fan where it's at. It's just annoying that the hardware monitoring says it's always 100%

try EVGA Precision instead of rivatuner. better program anyway...

YES IM A FANBOI!

If you use Evga Precision, first time watch closely to make sure the fan is running. I installed 180.24 and the fan wasn't even turning at all, and couldn't activate it or make any changes.

V3NOM, does running a EVGA 9800 GT on asus M3A79-T with Cross-Fire, make me a FanBoi 2 ???? LOL
