8710w - fan works all the time

I did all the settings to the registry et'al and it still periodically gets stuck with T5=70 and fan blaring.

What I did figure out though is you can reset the T5 setting my simply putting your system to sleep and then immediately waking it up. Upon waking up, the fan usually steps down to T5=50, which is still running, but pretty quietly.

Thanks to all for previous posts and info and I hope this helps some.

Yes, if you don't have those keys, you create them.

 

Borg,

They are DWORD's (at least that what I used). Attached is a screen shot of the resulting registry.

 

I had been using my 8510w for the last 2 years with an external monitor(home) or with the laptop screen(work), I had forgotten the always on fan noise issue.
Well, thought I needed more real estate at work and plugged in an external monitor and left the laptop one going.
Yikes what a racket.
Read this thread and might try the registration entries mentioned.
But looking at how chrixx mentioned that the relevent registration entries disappeared from the drivers, I bet they are tied to all the recall issues with overheating mobile GPUs in this generation of nvidia cards. Nvidia probably just decided to stop loss and leave the fan on all the time.
I may try it with my registry, I see that I only have the PowerMizerLevel an no others.

 

I have a bunch of 8710p's with the 320M and a bunch of the 8710w's with the fx1600. Running XP pro SP3 all the latest BIOS rev's etc. Just playing World of Warcraft on them causes the GPU's to overheat within an hour, the display then artifacts like mad and crashes. I've never been able to figure out why. I've thought about replacing the TIM but simply refrained from playing WoW on these suckers. Disappointing actually, playing on the fx1600 was pretty stunning really with the 150 fps they seem to attain (little less of course in Dalaran but still mad mad framerates) I am typing this from a 4710s with the ATI 4330 and it is much slower but 100% more reliable.

 

Hi guys,

I know this isn't really my notebook thread, but I hope this fix could also work for my purpose.

I would like to be able to modify (on the fly, with a reg file probably?) the fan speed. So i.e. if I want to game and o/c a bit more, I want the fan to ran at a certain speed before it reaches the threshold temp which it has been set by ATi/HP.

Can you direct me to the method described here so I could see if my idea should work?

Thanks!
