Thank you guys
I downloaded and installed after burner applications
the image below shows my settings
my core clock is 675 MHz
shader clock is 1620 MHz
memory clock is 1100
GPU usage is 100%

i dont play any games on my pc what do u think my settings should be?

gpu usage is actually at 0% but your fan is at 91% while the temp is at 69c

how old is the card, is it still under warranty?

since you don't game you can bring your core clock down to 500mhz, it wont affect watching video or anything like that. it should cool your core down. you can also click on the "auto" button by your fan speed and manually set the fan to a set %.

Its working much better, below is my new setup
I think what helped alot was clicking on the auto button in MSI afterburner for the fan, I left it at 91%, and click apply. The fan is now working at 52% and I dont hear it at all

Are there tools like MSI afterburner for other components like cpu? there are 2 other fans in my pc. Maybe there other settings that are setup for games and I can adjust and lower those settings

My laptop has a nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS and MIS afterburner cannot find it, do you know any programs I can use for my laptop to see if I can lower the core clock and maybe fan speed for my laptop?
thanks for your help

laptop cooling is different from desktop cooling because of the close proximity of so many parts. i would strongly recommend you do not change fan speeds on a laptop.
