Since you can't use the Topic programs with Icenhancer2.1 at all, what program do i use to set GPU Fan to go up with Temps?
I love the look, but's not worth my 560Ti 448 hitting almost 90C cuz the it won't increase RPM's on it's own.
Thanks.

MSI Afterburner can be run, BUT you have to disable the GUI that shows all that stuff ingame... IF that doesn't work look for "SpeedFan". That is a very good tool.

90C ?!! ,Thats too much ,Has your graphics card been cleaned recently? Better to do so , About the fan speed I cant really say (I dont own a nvidia card),but the ATI users CCC can easily adjust fan settings ,I set mine to 100% (I dont really care about noise ,It just becomes ambient after awhile)

90C too much? It's well within nvidia's specs. It's a fermi card. My GTX 480 run's hot. I think you're more likely to burn out the fan always running at 100%. I shaved 6 degrees C off mine by replacing TIM anyway.

Most of the cards can operate in excess 100C ,thats not the problem,The problem is that,the soldier lead and wires can get melted and screwup ,only thing to fix it after that is bake or its gone forever ,and no my fan never had any problems, always running at 100% ,even 36hrs at a stretch and under load ,its temps stays constant at 70C

For normal usuage it's best that Cards don't go higher than 80°C, but yeah that's a "Thermi" 480^^ when was the last time you cleaned your GPU? That's the first thing I would do..

Oh ok yeah it sounds like a lawn mower at 100% fan speed worried about waking up my housemates haha.... and still hits 90 degrees running furmark. I didn't realise that these temps could really damage the card. I cleaned it out a week ago and replaced the TIM and it got a little better, got a Lian-Li K62 case with big fans and good airflow... may mount a fan pointing directly at the card and see if that helps. LOL at "Thermi"... it's like a $550 heater for my room HAHA.

xDD Furmark is the baddest crap you can do to your card... already heard so many cards die with that program xDDD check temps INGAME not with some crappy coded shyt..
