When I start my PC it boots directly to the Windows Login screen until I sign into my user account. Only when I log into my user account does RivaTuner apply the 75% fan speed to my GPU. So, until I login the GPU sits there with NO fans running on the cooler. Is there a way to have the fans kick on after the post screen?

I would hate for a roommate to turn on my computer and then never login and let my GPU burn with no cooling.

This is on a VisionTek 4870 with Accelero TwinTurbo cooler. Thanks for the insight.

The new catalyst drivers (8.10) will now have a fan control option. Then it would be set to the fan and not a third party program, if I understand it right.

I see the beta drives were leaked I wonder when release candidate is ready? I wonder how the fan control will work. Is it going to be applied at the software level or will it directly change the BIOS settings for the fans?

I think the final candidate is leaked now. There was a thread on it a while back... I would tell you how they worked except I use my DuOrb and so I can't control it that way. It looks like the attached picture.
