Software for reducing Fan Speed (nVidia)

[Big.Wayne]

My friend has a small shuttle system mainly used for surfing and watching Videos/DVDs but he went and put an nVidia 6800GT in and the noise from the fan is terrible!

I'm looking for a small app that can slow down the cards fan.

Downloaded Speedfan last night and have been playing with it but I can't see how to 'automate' the speed-reduction process? Everytime I restart the PC the fan is back to running 100%.

Any Speedfan tips or recommendation of some other software that can perform this task?

Thanks!

rivatuner does the job very nicely indeed.

Cheers downloading now

Lol I can't get it to work either!

Found the bit for the fan setting but it's not having any effect?

What am I doing wrong? Speedfan can access and control the 6800GT's fan speeds but Riva-tuner doesn't seem to be working? (nForce3 mobo).

open rivatuner, click the top customize panel,open first option marked "low level system tweak" viola click enable fan control.you can check gpu fan speed in hardware monitering

No fan option there, its on a different tab

Hmm is there any other software apps that can control fanspeeds?

[edit] I think Rivatuner is trying to control the wrong fan maybe, looking at the card in Speedfan I can see this:

Is there a way to get Rivatuner to try and control a different fan? as you can see in the above pic the card appears to have two fan-sensors and I'm guessing Riva is trying to control the wrong one?

I cant find any window that looks like wayne's :/

Look in: Driver Settings > Customise > System settings (red outline in pic).

Still can't get it to work? I am wondering if:

- Speedfan being installed is somehow stopping RIVA from working?

- This is a Windows MCE 2005 installation and I've had certain things not work on this before that work fine in regular windows XP, namely Cool'n'Quiet'.

Will have another fiddle but what other apps are there? Does ATI-Tray-tools work on an nVidia card?

Or does anyone know a way to make 'Speedfan' work automatically on bootup?

Click the customize arrow above the one you've clicked. It's on the same page as the overclocking bit, if memory serves.

No its not there, its on the lower tab as indicated in the pic

These are the drivers I am using?
