    Same thing with mine. Running Win7 though. Driver version 285.62. All gadgets I've tried show 0% fan speed.

    The GPU fan isn't controlled by the GPU's fan controller, but by the bios, it is normal that you cannot control it and that the reading you get isn't accurate. You don't need to worry about it.
