    BTW, when u upgrade to a 260m, the fan will always be @ 100% (therefore loud).
    This is probably because the thermal management system in the laptop won't be able to see the temperature of the GPU, so it goes into safe mode.

    Username dtd00d has put a Potentiometer in line with the wiring of the fan for manual fan control..

    Aright. That would be a problem esp when I am in class... How did he wire in a fan controller? I'm not real good when it comes to hardware like that..
