I believe that rivatuner lets you adjust fan speeds. If you still get problems with the fan turned up, you might have a defective card.

[rewindlabs]

Use the first link in the link i posted....

 

[irkjab]

Ntune also lets you control fan speeds.

[logesh_v]

aahh...thanks irkjab..ill try it now...

@Rewindlabs:
if i want to google myself ...ill do it happily...why would i register in this forum and post my doubt here....??..

 

[rewindlabs]

It took me 5 seconds on google to come up with the answer....

Really you should learn up on your system if you doubt yourself so much to find software for it

 

[logesh_v]

rewindlabs:
so wat is ur answer now????again try google?????

 

[AKM880]

@ irkjab, it does? I thought it was just a monitor?

 

[irkjab]

Yup, you can adjust fan speeds and overclock with Ntune. I don't think that it saves the settings though, so you'd have to reconfigure it after every reboot.

 

[logesh_v]

@irkjab:
r u sure it wont burn the gpu if we manually increase the settings in ntune??? iam little afraid if my gpu will get burnt....

 

[logesh_v]

hi irkjab..
when i try to manually increse the gpu cooling it says "the changes made were invalid and will not be applied"

see the image and help me pls

 

[irkjab]

Turning the fan up in ntune won't fry your card.

I've never got an error like that. Does it work if you set the fan to 100%?

If it doesn't, try the fan settings on rivatuner.

You won't have any chance of damaging your card unless you try overclock it.

 

[rewindlabs]

Try rivatuner

 

[logesh_v]

atlast i got it...i added a new rule for gpu fan on the ntune...and now the fan tem is working fine...thanks for ur kind info irkjab....now i used gpu-z to check my gpu temperature...and its 52 degrees at idle and even when i play gta4 it doesnt shoot up higher than 60degrees...thanks a lot

A good cleaning never hurts, either. Dust is your enemy.
