How can I run my VGA fan @ 100% at all times? (nVidia card, btw.)

Thanks. :)

Activate coolbits through the registry and in the overclocking settings it will let you run it at fastest.

I don't think you're going to want 100% all the time. I know with ATI cards, ATI Tool allowed you to set the fan speed based on temperature... like if the card was 80-90c, then go 100%, but if it was 70-80c go 80%. I wish there was a utility like that for nVidia cards but it seems to be a "one setting only" thing.

I don't see an option to do it anywhere in ATI tool 0.27 beta on Vista. I don't remember seeing any fan control options in 0.26 on XP either, I can check later since I'm dual-booting.
