Default Fix The Fan Speed Issue

Many people like to run the fans on the 88oo GTX/GTS at 100% speeds 24/7. Obviously while this is a little noisier, it allows for much lower temps. Unfortunately N-Tune Currently has a bug that does not allow you to save your fan speed settings. Here is a work around. This work around requires that you have the most recent version of RivaTuner (v2, RC 16.2). The most current version of RivaTuner can be found here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=163 .

1. Download and install RivaTuner, run it once and allow it to build its registry.
2. Restart your computer. Please note this fix requires that you do not change the fan speed settings through Ntune at this time.
3. Open RivaTuner and navigate to the Low Level System Settings. (See picture one)
4. Check "Enable low-level fan Control"
5. Check "Fixed"
6. Move the Slider to 100% (Or whichever fan speed you choose)
7. Check Apply Fan Settings at Start Up.
8. Press Apply
9. Check Picture 2 for what the finished result should look like (This is for 100% fan speed.)
10. Restart Computer.

After step 10 your computer will be set up to run the video card fans at 100% upon start up. Hope this helps some people! If you have any questions or need help feel free to post.
