Anyone know of a current utility that works with Vista 64 and will increase the RPM's of your video card's fan?

man i wanna know the same thing!!!

I remember there used to be a utility that did all of that but I can't remember the name of it. I did, however, find a utility that came packaged with my asus card that does all of that including the overclocking.

You may want to check eVga's website to see if they have a control utility.

AfterLife

Try Riva Tuner

Yep...that's the one I was trying to think of....thx

Rivatuner, ATI Tool, or custom .xml editing (For HD4800 series)

=)

I used the Radeon BIOS Editor and it's sister program ATI WinFlash. Very powerful tool - my 3870 runs cooler now OC'ed (862mhz/1333mhz) than it did at idle and stock clocks, and it's not that much louder.

It also really rips through F@H WUs now.

just go to ati tray tools and to overcloking settings then click in the tab that says fan and just chose manual (carefull the more percentage you put the higher the sound is).

P.S To get to overclocking settings right click ati tray tools and go to hardware.

IModIntel

I really don't need to boost my GPU's fan speeds right now, with the Silverstone 110 CFM fan i put on the side, my 3850 idles @ 39C...loads at 59.

Depending of the GPU ...

For ATI case you can do it by the driver...

Here the steps you need to do

1. Go to Catalyst and make an new profile and save it

Eg.:Fan 25%

2 You go here (watchout if you want to do this you need to see the hidden files)

C:\Users\iModAMD\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Profiles

(in this example iModAMD is my acount name for Windows Vista)

3. Right click on the XML file and select modify

4.In the file search for an code line like this

<Feature name="FanSpeedProtocol_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedProtocolProperty" value="Percent" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Automatic" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="0" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="0" />
</Feature>
</Group>

It should be after Memory Voltage Target

5. Normaly <Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Automatic" />
You will change the value automatic for Manual

6. Set the FanSpeedPercentTarget_0 to the value of your choice (0-100) Thoses are in %

OR

Set the FanSpeedRPMTarget_0 to the value of your choice (depending the maximum and the minimum of your fan)

Should give you something like this

<Feature name="FanSpeedProtocol_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedProtocolProperty" value="Percent" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Manual" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="0" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="25" />
</Feature>
</Group>

7. Have fun and make profiles for control your fan

For NVIDIA

Take RIVATUNER all Nvidia GPUS should be supported

(With this trick you can change the Fan Speed of your card . Eg : By default the 4850 fan it's always at 5% who is really quiet... even too much in idle the GPU was at 80 Celcius....hot you will say yes it is .By this trick i passed to 80 celcius to 42 in idle.)
