Stopping the noise
I have an eVGA 7800GS with driver 84.22 installed. When I play a game, the
fan speed increases so loud that you can hear in on Mars. I know this is the drivers doing this but I need for it to stop. Is there anyway to stop the driver from increasing the fan speed? I know there are other cooling solutions, but I spent enough money already and I just want to rest my ears *_* TIA |

If you prevent it from spinning up to silly levels the card will overheat and your computer will crash... Either look at implementing better cooling in your case or buy a third party cooler for the card - not really any other solution (unless you have a defective card) |

If you prevent it from spinning up to silly levels the card will overheat and your computer will crash... Either look at implementing better cooling in your case or buy a third party cooler for the card - not really any other solution (unless you have a defective card) I turn on the computer and enter the game. As soon as I enter the game, the fan spins up. The driver info says the card is running at 38C and can take up to 115C when it slows performance down. Its the driver doing this not the card. Temps in the case are CPU 40C Zone 1 33C Zone 2 38C add 5C when gaming. It seems that the card doesn't get very hot, based on the temps shown in the driver as I play. Its not overclocked. I just want the fan to simply work, not adjust itself. My last card was a Gainward GeForce 4 4800 Ti 128 that I removed the fan completely and replaced it with that monstrous heatsink from Zalman. The Zalman heatsink broke (my fault) then I ran the card with no fan or heatsink for over 3 years playing games for hours on end with never a problem. Most card manufactures make cards that can be overclocked esp. eVGA and BFG, so they can take more heat then we give them credit for. I just want to prevent the fan from changing speeds, not go the extremes mentioned above *shrug* |

mentioned above *shrug* Use a windows fan utility to adjust fanspeed. The one I've been using is Gainward's Expertool, which worked fine on my generic PNY card http://www.gainward.com/html/downloa.../expertool.htm rms |

Should let you manually set the fan duty cycle to whatever you want. BTW, the eVGA 7800GS fan doesn't appear to be capable of ear-splitting noise. I'm surprised you find it that annoying. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."

Its not "ear-splitting" its just disheartening to spend all that money on a
quiet case, CPU fan, etc. only to have a video card "break the silence" *lol* And thanks for the info *_* "First of One" wrote in message ... www.guru3d.com/rivatuner Should let you manually set the fan duty cycle to whatever you want.
