Default PNY Nvidia GeForce 9800GT fan control issues

Guys, I just bought this card this week. I installed RivaTuner in order to check the GPU temp as well as control the fan speed. Problem is that I do not see any options in the 'system settings' to do this. Is there something I don't have setup correctly in RivaTuner? Any help would be appreciated.

Use RivaTuner to create fan profiles to cool the GPU as it increases in temp while gaming (all the way to 100% fan usage as temps increase).

Go here for a guide and pics on how to do it;

If Rivatuner is too hard for you use EVGA Precision its much easier.

I don't see any fan options in the 'system setting' menu. There's nothing there to see or set the fan speeds. Any way to configure it so I can adjust my fan speeds?

Um, it's one tab over from where you can overclock the GPU (ForceWare driver AFAIK). Fan control works with the latest version of Rivatuner and the PNY 9800GT. I did notice however, that when I had the fan set to 100% and gpu temps got hot enough for the fan to normally kick on, the fan would shut off and the card would overheat.
