About time

Is anyone having fan speed problems?
I had a friend install the leaked 180(.44?) drivers to fix his Call of Duty: WaW SLI problems, he said they did indeed fix the problem, but that he could no longer control his fan speed? He has two 8800gtx's.

I always wait for WHQL Drivers unless I have trouble w/ the current ones. I'm glad this came out at this time. I plan to SLI, so it's going to be a big help.
