    Hi ,
    I wanted to know if it's possible to access the fan speed of the Gpu on my 7805?
    When I get to nvidia control pannel under performance the cooling tab is in gray and I can't change it.
    thanks for you help.

    Is there a way to read it? I used speedfun but it doesn't show any of my fun speeds.
    Any suggestions?

    Why do you want to see fan speeds, it wouldn't matter anyways if you cant change it.

    I need to see if my heating problem is coming from the funs. I play Call of duty 4 and I hit 92°C.

    Besides that dumb fan is really annoying when you're sitting at the desktop and it's going "WEEEEOOoooooo WEEEEOOoooo" every 4 minutes or so. I wanted to change the minimum speed to a steady speed that would keep it cool.

    ya unfortunately all the fan speeds are hard coded and hidden behind that bloody secretive Phoenix BIOS.
