7400 Geforce go fan stopped?

chimpinator · 05-08-2007, 07:08 PM

Hi,

I have a little dell xps m1210 notebook and i have been facing seriously intense overheating issues with the graphics card. Its performance has been sluggish (4 fps in lost coast) because it idles around 97 degrees celsius and, heck, i don't even watn to know how how it gets under fulll 3d load. I used i8kfangui to check the two fans i have in this small case, and one of them (which presumably handles the cpu because when i dusted it the cpu cooled 20 degrees c) works perfectly. I maxed out fan speeds and got a 20 degree reduction. but the other fan, which I presume handles the gpu is always at 922 rpm and won't budge. On fangui it just says --- in place of the "high" or "slow" speed descriptions and the 922 never budges. When i try to adjust this speed it doesn't budge. Does this mean teh fan stopped? IF so, is there anyway i can get it back working or do i have to get it replaced?

Ty for ur help,
Chimp

I would take it in and get it looked at because with those temps you are going to do some damage to your video card, this may already be the case

Thank you for the advice - dell re-installed the hsf and now it's very stable at 44 idle, 50/60+ loaded.
