upgraded from a winfast 8800gts to a 1gb gigabyte 560ti (oc i think as it runs at 900mhz) and trying to track down the source of noisyness in my case when i noticed the idle fan level/speed is faster than what it was.
not sure what the fan rpm was but on the 560 its hovering around 1800rpm but the real kicker was when i tried to load up MSI afterburner to lower the fan speed to see if it really was the gfx making the noise..
i couldn't lower it lower than 40% whereas i was able to do 30% on the 8800gts on idle/windows. i looked at the "nvidia bios editor" but it doesn't make sense to me and i don't want to mess up my new card by messing up the flash!
i tried loading it up into win7 pro x64, ran as admin and if i try to select read bios i get a "cant start driver 1275" error. :/
i found this bios on their site which seems to be for my card: http://www.mvktech.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,0/func,fileinfo/id,3549/ but is the rev 4 just the latest one or is it referring to different revisions of the card?
edit: tried to save the bios using GPU-Z then renamed the file to .rom, loaded it up but the integrity is red coloured and a lot of the fields don't have values in them, using mine or the downloaded file.
