Increased fan rate

Hi,
I have a PNY video card which uses a NVidis 7900 chip to handle two monitors. I run the E17 window manager and can use xinerama or twinview to handle the monitors. I have noticed that when starting the e17 session (from startx) that as the NVidia logo is being displayed, the fan on my graphics card goes into a high speed mode of some kind. You can hear it very distinctly. This didn't always happen and I am wondering if there is a way I can control it? My graphics chip never gets that hot anyway.

Re: Increased fan rate

you can with nvclock, install it and run nvclock_gtk and its under the hardware monitering tab. lm_sensors also has a fanspeed changer based on temp.

He is correct nvclock can do this just be careful that you don't lower the speed to much, you might want to monitor your temperature afterwards to make sure it dose not increase to much.
