[ciproxr]

I got a 6600gt today and the fan is a little loud , so i was told riva tuner can make it a little more quiet but im afraid of frying my vid card......

here are the current settings

all i changed was the standard 2d, i only lowered it 2 % and it made a huge difference but im afraid to keep the settings.....

what would everyone recomend ? can i ruin my card this way ?

if i can leave the settings like that i would be happy with the noise level

Well, look at the temperatures in your nvidia control panel (if it doesn't have the temperature bug)... You can lower it I bet... My 6800 ultra was at 50% the whole time and it still worked fine.

It'd start artifacting and freezing long before any damage was being done.

i didnt know how to check it but i just figured it out.....sais its running at 49 not while playing a game, just surfing the net. is that good ?

I probably can lower it and might in the future but right now i just got it and am a little scared lol plus to be honest at 98% it dosent bother me, it made a huge difference, its almost as if nvidia at 100% makes the fan go faster than its suppose to cause it makes weird noises.
