Unless your PSU came with some way to change it (and AFAIK most don't) then you won't be able to change it. But most PSU's either have the fan set to top speed, or are thermal controlled.

And I'd recommend against opening up your PSU to do any work on it.

Anyway, the RPM's may be reporting wrong anyway.

Thanks, you always reply my threads really fast even at 12:45 AM. i guess im only going to start posting at night.

i have finally fixed my problem, i just disconnected the front panel audio from the sound card, removed the sound card, resitted it in the same pci express slot, plugged in my speakers, turned on my computer, let windows detect, then installed drivers and software from cd. restarted now everything works, clean clear sound from all 5 speakers and sub. only one problem, no front panel audio. i might try and hook up the front panel audio later and see if it works. i can't wait to play crysis again with full surround sound, i just beat it on hard now im starting again on delta, finally i can hear if those bastards are infront of behind me.

Front panel? Do you mean the orange black and green plugs that you plug into the back of the card. If so then I have no problems at all with mine but if this isn't so then I have no idea.blackleather223

Front panel are the extra outputs/ inputs in the front of ur computer, so u don't have to reach to the back everytime u want to unplug ur mic or headphones.

Hmm, try uninstalling the drivers completely and ignoring the CD, and downloading and installing this driver then.

Once it's installed and working you should be able to install the missing Creative Apps using the CD.

That's the 32bit Vista I gave, you'll need a different driver if you have Vista x64.

I'll try this as soon as i restart my computer to complete the unistallation, but htis is the same driver i dwnloaded that said my device was the wrong type, and would not let me install it.

The drivers refused to install again, it said "device for setup not properly installed, exit setup". This is weird becasue windows detected everything again, and i was able to listen to music through my front panel headphones, but not the speakers.

I'd check the CD then (although I'm assuming that they'd say something about you need the Vista disk), becuase when I bought my Xtreme Gamer, it came with a seperate Vista and XP disks.

it only came with one disc.
