Fan Noise - Riva TNT2 Mod 64
I've got three monitors on my system, one being a built in Intel adapter and
two being Nvidia Riva TNT2 Mod 64 PCI cards. I'm not sure if the fan noise from the nvidia cards is getting worse or just whether my tolerance has been declining over the past year. Anyhow, my question is whether one can do anything to cripple some of the functions on the card to reduce its power consumption and thus kill the fan. I just use the monitors for routine business graphics and have no need at all for high speed or 3D or whatever. I have gone into the WinXP system and dropped the hardware accelerator setting to zip, but have not seen any other controls which might help any. I'm using the default XP driver for the card by the way. If I get a driver directly from nvidia will that help me any? Or do I just need to scrap the cards and get an old Matrox dual monitor card with no fans in the first place? Thanks... Bill -- (Remove KILLSPAM from my address to use it) |
