    Today I installed a Dell GTX 765M with 80.06.64.00.01 VBios. Seems to work. But fan goes on full speed and in Benchmarks not over 405MHz. Driver is 395.31.
    Does anyone has a solution?

    The solution is to go on Driver version 425.31
    But the fan is still on 100%.
    Is something possible to go on an unlocked Bios?
