    thank you so much goodbytes :D

    seems like i wont overclock my gpu.

    it is a notebook has a non-replace-able gpu.if it is dead your notebook is dead too.

    i am looking for more cooling solutions.i have done undervolt bought a cooler and cleaned my lappy everything is fine.

    but one question more how can i control my notebooks fan?

    i want to spin it in it's full speed because even games it spins half my cpu is usually in a good temperture but my gpu is 70-80 which could be lover.

    i tried speed fan but it did not work out.

    does anyone have a program to control the notebook's fan speed.

    Use a program called Everest (trial version is fine), and look at your temperatures when idle. Idle means that your computer was turned off for several minutes until it's all cool down, that you turn it on, login-in, close ALL running software including IM, A/V software, and wait several MINUTES without touching the system, but ensuring that the system doesn't go under sleep. Once all activity of the system is done, now you may start monitoring your temperatures at a idle level.

    What are your idle temperatures?

    I don't think you can. It's a BIOS level system. You some desktop for most graphic cards, as you usually have a an additional software from the chip maker (like Nvidia), that allows you to do such a thing. But generally, no, and usually always "no" for the CPU, unless of connecting the fan instead onto the motherboard, onto a different fan controller (desktop only).

    This is very normal temperature. Don't worry about it. As long as your GPU doesn't shut down on you because the temps are really high, like 90-100+ degrees Celcius than nothing to worry about.

    You COULD try Nvidia system tools, which is the tool to overclock your GPU if you want, but what is intresting is within the overclock profile section, you have a speed fan control. If your GPU is on separate heatsink than your CPU and motherboard northbridge, then it MAY work. It's worth a try, and you don't have to overclock anything to access it.

    I just wanted to say this program is awesome and it works for Windows 7 Pro on my E6500 with the 160M. I hate how without this program, whenever you move a window it's laggy until the GPU steps up!

    I'm having some problems with NV gpu pro 2 build 629. My driver version is 195.81. When trying to change the powermizer settings so that powermizer is disabled while only plugged, only two options are avaliable: enable always or disable always. In addition to this, NVgpupro2 does not detect my driver version. I've tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers several times however nothing changed.

    Any thoughts or solutions?

    For some reason, NvGPUPro detects your GPU as a desktop one.
    What is your graphic card, is it the Quadro FX770 that I see in your signature? Perhaps I did a coding error somewhere in my detection system.

    I've got a quadrofx770. nvgpupro used to work just fine until I installed the 195 series graphics driver. Previously I was using 186

    It seams that you did not uninstall the previous drivers before installing the new ones - well I am guess here. The problem is that now you have multiple driver configuration sheets. In reality, this is of no worry as the drivers loads up the correct one, as it knows which one to use. But, NvGPUPro, in your case, picked the wrong one. I believe I have solved the problem. I'll e-mail you shortly with a link to the new build of NvGPUPro.

    Well it's been some time, since a new release was done for Nv GPU Pro. On this beutiful day, I am exited to present you with a new release of Nv GPU Pro, and updated website!

    Nv GPU Pro 2.1 Build 107 Feature cool new features!


    What's new?

    - Multiple GPU system support (up to 2).
    If your system has 2 Nvidia graphic cards, you can tweak both of them individually to best fit your needs.​

    - 196 and 197 driver series support.

    - View Windows Experience Index (WEI) benchmark details (Vista/Win7)
    You can now view the detail benchmark scoring of Windows Experience Index providing more meaning to the WEI score. The scoring information can be saved and printed to help comparing drivers or for quick overclock benchmark.
    Here is an example. This feature is ALSO available from Nv GPU Pro, even on systems that does NOT have an Nvidia graphic card.​

    - Check for update
    This feature will inform you of new beta and official releases with a simple mouse click.​

    - New backup and restore system.
    This improved feature backups the entire driver configuration including your game profiles set in the Nvidia Control Panel to help you restore these after a Windows re-installation, or system transfer.​

    - Improved system scanning system.
    Now caches system scans in itself for faster scanning at next run. The system is smart enough to detect if Nv GPU Pro has changed systems from where it will execute a full scanning, and re-caching. Making it ideal as a portable application (works on USB memory stick and disks directly from them).​

    and more!

    It's a false positive. Like that time where McCafee marks a critical Windows files, and broke million users Windows beyond repair.

    In this case, some anti-virus don't like full package exe. As having multiple files in 1 files is uncommon, and it's not a zip file or something, but rather a executable, it looks suspicious and alert as being a trojan.

    Good anti-virus actually analyze the files internals and really detect virus. So I recommend a better anti-virus. Microsoft Security Essential (free (also available in 64-bit)) an excellent one. Also, Microsoft has a page to send your virus or segment to them for them to analyze and update their database. Alternatively, AVG free edition should be fine.

    If it helps you sleep better, upload the file here:
    VirusTotal - Free Online Virus and Malware Scan
    You will notice that many don't detect anything at all, and that those who detect something all detect something different and not the same.

    Here is a fun test.
    I took notepad.exe send it to virustotal.com and of course get no virus detected. Now I package it with UPX (which is what is being done with my executable), and I see that they detected a virus on a few of them.

    If you want, I can provide you with an unpackage executable if you prefer (traditional layout.. where the exe has nothing included it self, but then the program won't be 100% standalone).

    The old 8800M GTX laptop card had issues with memory clocks, IIRC.
