Evga GTX 560 Ti

Just got this card, I'd like to know how to change the fan speed without voiding my warranty. AMD fan upgraded to Nvidia for PhysX mostly, something that AMD doesn't have.

Download MSI Afterburner.

While I am a nice person I will give you a link to the download.

http://downloads.guru3d.com/Afterburner-2.1.0-Beta-7-download-2604.html

At the bottom of the page you will see different sources to download from (Europe, Sweden). Choose any of those links.

After that, click Agree on the bottom of that page where there is a statement.

A rar based download will appear, unzip it and double click on .exe, which is the installation program.

Install it, open the program, and at the bottom left you will see Fan Speed. Tick off the auto, and move the slider to the right to increase the percentage, meaning increasing the fan speed. After that, click Apply.

Thank you, I could of found the download myself

Still another question, does this void my warranty? I just bought this and erm...my screen went black for a 3 seconds and said driver problem successfully fixed in different wording so......I want my warranty bad.

 

[HansVonOhain]

Nope, that does not void warranty.

 

[HansVonOhain]

You driver error problem is probably caused by a conflict by some other software? Did you upgrade your system or you just build a new system and put this card in there?

You could also try EVGA precision, which may have better compatibility with you card. Just A thought.

I just upgraded the card, this actually happened with my 4870 sometimes. Every part was removed, cleaned thoroughly and replaced thermal paste everything is back where it should be that's not the problem. What I'm going to do is install w7 64bit, reformat it too.

Precision won't let me change my speeds. Not sure how to unlock it.

 

[jprahman]

You need to go to the advanced settings section by clicking on the button with the wrench. There should be a tab with fan control settings.

Does increasing the core clock void warranty?

 

[jprahman]

Yes

 

[xstalkrx]

but will the manufacturer actually know that OC caused the failure?

 

[jprahman]

Possibly. I wouldn't even try to get it past them, because even if you successfully get a failed overclocked card past them I consider doing so kind of dishonest. Besides, if enough people start doing that and the company gets wind of it they'll probably start shortening their warranties, screwing the honest people who only request warranty service fro true defects, not tweaking gone wrong.

EVGA are overclock friendly... like gigabyte and xfx... if you have to RMA the card... be sure that the right cooler and bios is on the card... also that they can read the serial number.

Lol... i burned so many gigabyte mobo... summer is very hot in montreal
