Fan control in rivatuner
Under system tweak>fan tab, there's this feature where u can choose to control the fan setting either by direct or auto. Hmm just wondering did u guys leave it by default (auto)
I started to mess wuth it by choosing direct control and set it at 50%, does really matter or help?

What happens when a fan spins faster?

Seriously...
Leave it on Auto... if you find that your are constantly overheating crank it up.. if you still are, trash it and get another one...

Exactly. Altho some games, like ET:QW don't tax the video card much at all, others like Frontlines, Crysis and some others really push the card especially at high resolutions. As far as I'm concerned, I can handle the noise a lot easier than RMA'ing a video card! Chris.
