    i have been looking around the forums for a while now and have so far been unable to find any program that will allow me to control the fans directly, or at least lower the temperatures at which they come on. right now my gpu kind of cycles between 52 degrees and 67 degrees. the fan comes on at 67 degrees and knocks it down to 52 again. i was kind of hoping i could lower the fan settings to come on around 60 degrees so that my graphics card doesnt get so hot while idling.

    There is a program that I have downloaded from another forum. I haven't used it yet but It is supposed to give you control of the 2 outer fans. The bios fan in the middle cannot be controlled. I will see if I can find the website because I can't post a .exe file here.
