Ok guys, I have read all the posts concerning gpu temps and followed the instructions at

http://www.xtremesystems.org/FORUMS/showthread.php?t=192932 In order to adjust fan speed. Problem is nothing changes. Have restarted the box, downloaded the newest drivers, but still fan speed operates at 22%. As instructed I have activated the overdrive settings, created a profile, and changed auto to manual along with entering a new % value. I save the file, but nothing happens. When I restart the the box the settings in my created profile return to defaults. Any thoughts? I really want to get the temp down, under load I'm at 80c.

Did you activate your new profile? Also did you remember to save the text file when you edited it?

Yes, as a matter of fact I have. I also noticed that when I rebooted this morning settings went back to default. Anybody else have issues with adjusting fan speed, and are there any other programs available to control fan speeds on graphics cards?

Uninstalled then reinstalled the drivers and all works fine. Now I would like to increase my cpu fan. I know I have seen a recommended program mentioned on this forum, if anyone knows what it is I would appreciate it if you could give me the name.

Thanks

Backup the file before doing this, but change the 'Manual' to 'Percent'
