You tried both low level and the system tweaks sections.
XFX 9800GT fan won't stay set at 100% manual
XFX 9800GT fan won't stay set at 100% manual. I set it to 100% in rivatuner and a few seconds later it has been reset to 50% it's making my card run at like 76C under load

even with a 20" box fan blowing on the case.

I am using the 182.08 drivers and I have tried low level and the system tweak sections both do the same thing. It's at 76C on stock and I would like to OC it when the new PSU gets here. What is the safe operating temp limit for a GT?

Incorrect whenever anyone asks a question in there about a card that is used for folding they are ignored, or told to go to the NVIDIA section or given advice that does not apply at all to folding. This is the proper place.

Now in this one instance would I have probably gotten decent advice over there, yes, but 90% of the time I would not.

105c is a bit high. I wouldn't let it get too much past 90c and your gravy.

Your question has nothing to do with folding at all, it has to do with a 9800gt overclock. Just because the card is gonna fold the question is still a GPU question not a folding question and therefore belongs in the GPU forum.
Try to completely remove and reinstall drivers. I was having a similar issue and a driver update fixed it, I was running pretty old drivers at the time though so your problem might be something else. Couldn't hurt though.

Did I not say that on this rare occasion this topic might have been ok to put in the GPU section?
I will try to reinstall the drivers and then if that doesn't work try precision in a little while. it's my dad's computer and he is just letting me put some cards in it to fold with.

You can set the fan speed manually in Rivatuner, using the power user section..see below for example.
RivaTuner>Fan>Current Device>
*make sure the 'light-bulbs' on "apply at startup" and "fan speed" are set to on or enabled.

It goes about 3 seconds and then changes back.

Is that the EVGA or Riva?

OK I had the same problem with EVGA and figured it out by setting it to 90-95% then raising it to 100% after it ran for a while....made 9800 sound like a shop vac

Have you tried using the fan setting I posted, in the power user section of rivatuner? Using the fan control section of rivatuner, only provides a temp fix for fans with most all of the newer drivers.
IMO- I used to have the same problem, until I used the method I posted
