question about rivatuner 2.08

[aznstriker92]

Hi I got a 7950GT and I was trying to do the automatic fan control but I ran into problems.
http://guru3d.com/article/article/449/3
I followed this guide and made the fan profiles and stuff but when I go into hardwaremonitoring/setup and click on the coretemp/setup I can't find the threshold settings that should be at the bottom.



I don't have the threshold settings below as the picture shows.

Any ideas? its really inconvienient for me to keep on changing the fan speed. (currently at 60% in load)


Another thing is that the direct fan control dosen't work while its in 3D. I put the fan on 60% (both in driver level and low level) then play cnc3 or cod4 and it fan goes back to 19% and my temp is in the 80sC. what can I do?

help anybody?

help please my temp goes in the 90's sometimes!!
Then my fan speed goes up to 40%. I don't know how to override the defaults. I tried but it doesn't work.

So you aren't even able to just set it to a fixed speed? My auto control doesn't work, so I just set it to 40% fixed and it works fine. Well, by fine I mean except a few times when resuming from hibernate, LOL.

 

[aznstriker92]

No It doesn't stay fixed! In 3D it goes right back to 20%

I had some trouble with Rivatuner (though an older version of it) and a 7950gt a while back - the fixed fan speed wouldn't hold for me either. I did end up getting the thresholds working though; is the plus-sign "add threshold" button just not appearing?

Have you tried reinstalling your driver? I know I tried that, but can't remember if it worked or not.

Cheers

How did you get the thresholds to start working? The plus sign and text box doesn't appear. Well I installed the driver yesterday but I'll try again.

Also I use ATi tool but I can't find anything in the settings to fix the fan speed. Is there a compatability problem with the 7950GT?

DrTeapot-when you fixed the thresholds and did the auto fan setup, did it work and hold the fan speeds like it should?

 

[Guest]

It never did hold fixed fan speeds properly. Even with the thresholds set up, it would revert back to its default 29% if the machine went into standby. That wasn't a big deal though, because the thresholds would still kick in when temps went back up. So it mostly worked...

I got the thresholds working after reinstalling drivers and Rivatuner, and simply following that same guide again. I was using Rivatuner 2.06 and the 169.21 driver. Has the layout changed in the latest version of Rivatuner or something, perhaps?

Cheers

Does anybody have any ideas?

This is what I used a few days ago, if you follow it step by step you shouldn't have a problem.
