Using Riva Tuner

ChrisUlrich · 03-19-2008, 05:21 AM

I just got an 8800GTS G92 and I am trying to adjust the fan setting because everyone says it doesn't do a good job of it cooling on heavy load.

But I can't seem to figure out how the hell do change the stupid thing! I see a few things for nVidia fan and all that but when I click it, there's nothing to change?! Can someone help me out please?

It's running at 56C at idle right now. Gotta fix that a bit

This article should help. Basically there are the two arrows for the drivers and the graphics card. If you click on them then click on the graphics card icon you can overclock and speed up the fan.

and 56*C is pretty cool. i cant get my 8800GT down to that low. just make sure it doesnt get over... say 80.and you'll be fine.

I brought the speed to 60% and it instantly dropped my temps by like 12-15 degrees!

Will cause any harm to my graphics card or fan?

have the fan going faster...? no

haha.

Running it at 100%+ all the time might wear the fan out faster. But frankly, by the time the fan wears out under moderate usage, you'll probly want a new card anyway.

Auto holds my card @ 50c. 65% isn't audible and gives me 42-44c idle depending on room temp with 790/1910/1090 clocks.

39C idle but not nearly the clock speeds you have. 685/1711/1000.

Did you notice a different in performance doing all that overclocking?

Did you just increase speeds? Or do you have to raise voltages like overclocking ram/processor?

I definitely noticed a performance gain over the stock clocks of 650/1625/970. 3DMark06 score increased by 1000 or so.

Just increased the speeds. If I go 800/1925/1100, I get crashes but it's perfectly fine here.

Whats your 3dmark06 score?

I just scored a 10,800 and my speeds were 700/1711/1000.
