Help! Rivatuner detects fan as 100% at the time?

[mc6701]

Hi all,

Been playin with rivatuner to create fan profiles with my new 8800gt, but in the hardware monitor it detects my Fan duty cycle (fan speed) as 100% all the time!?!?!

The Card is a Gigabyte 8800GT the one with the Zalman cooling soloution on it.

The card temps at idle are about 39/40c and the fan noise doesnt seem to loud so not sure if its running at 100% or not!?!?

On the card there are two 2 pin slots for a fan.......this is the second card i have had due to the first been fauilty, the other one had a different zalman fan on it and that was plugged in to the other slot. Would this cause it to read fan speed as 100%

Is there something else i can use to monitor fan speed or is there a problem?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice

Mark

Read some other posts and some say its a driver issue with the 17XXX drivers but i am running 169.25, some post say that some fans can not be changed!!!

Don't even know if fan is running at 100% doesn't seem noisy enought??

Just played Crysis for 40 min didn't notice fan inrease at all and max temp was 49.

Anybody help???
