    I've had my sli1 for about 6 months or so and the fans are super loud lately. i think at one point I installed a bios update that possibly locked the gpu fan at 100% (this could be untrue but i think i remember reading it elsewhere)? i installed ntune but the options to control the fans are grayed out.

    Any tips for getting this thing quieter? I'm running on power saver with the cpu at 50% and the fans are still screaming.

    nvidia monitor says my cpu1 is 63 and gpu 2 is 66

    doesn't seem to matter much if I'm in SLI or not but the gpu temps do go up by about 5 degrees in SLI mode. I'm running nVIDIA ForceWare X 167.45 from laptopvideo2go
    thanks

    I'm not sure if this helps or not but my nvidia monitor view is reporting

    Fans:
    CPU 311 RPM
    System: 13824 RPM
    nforce: 196 RPM
    Aux2: 30395 RPM

    I think those numbers are off.
    No way can a laptop fan spin at 30k or 14k
    Have cleaned out you heatsink/fan lately?
    Try also to undervolt your CPU, can reduce the top temperature by like 20C.
