Is it supposed to do that? I thought that on that card it was supposed
to be on at a lower speed during 2D and then speed up during the
running of 3D games.

You could always try using a hairdryer to warm up the card and see if the fan
comes on.

There is a reg hack the will force the fan on at all times regardless if
it's 2D or 3D operations. It's "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA
Corporation\Global\NVTweak\"NvCplEnableFanControl"=dword:00000003
