Wonder if someone can help.
ive just (as in half an hour ago) recived a inno3d 7800gt card
maybe its just me being out of touch with modern machines (coming from a zalman heatpipe cooled 9700pro) but this thing is fecking loud!:angst:
the card is the std nvidia reference design, is the fan suppost to speed up/slow down at all? my bro has a 5900 ultra that would startup on full pelt, then slow down during bootup? should this be the case here too?:confused:
Have you looked in the nvidia control centre?
If not try expertool from Gainward, worked wonders on my old 6600gt and 6800gt:

i use rivatuner to change my fan speeds
Now this is strange..
Rivatuner doesnt have any effect.
BUT when i first rebooted after installing the latest forceware drivers, the fan slowed down.. but now it doesnt change at all
*update*
seems that its a common problem... http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=780...utf-8&oe=utf-8
The fan on my BFG 7800GT is very noisy during boot and for a few minutes after logging on. However, it quietens down a lot very quickly but is still the noisiest fan in my system by a long way.
I'm looking out for third party HSF's for the 7800GT.
Try installing rivatuner... if that doesnt work, install coolbits 2 as well... it worked for me :bowdown:Quote:
