i found how to enable the fan tab in the Power User settings, (allowbinaryfanspeedcontrol setting) and now have it set at 100%. it didnt seem to make much difference to either noise or temperature, but im thinking its because the fan is so tiny on my current card. hopefully this will change when i install my 8800GT....

i was reading in another thread that some case fans and CPU fans connect to the motherboard using a two pin plug, instead of a 3 pin (or a 3 pin with only two wires connected, maybe?), and i was wondering if this could be the reason i can't control the RPMs in Speedfan??

when i open speedfan, i can see all the temperatures fine, CPU1, CPU2, GPU Core, Ambient, etc. but the box which should display the RPMs is completely blank.

could this be the reason, (ill check the no of wires later tonight) and if so, how easy is it to add the third wire for rpm control through speedfan?

thanks,
Adam
