Hey guys,
So a client brought in his computer for repairs for his 9800GT card (
Manly branded1GB)Note that the link provided is for the 512MB model but seems to be the same.
So I've used this card on many peoples computers and all of them have fan control. However this ones fan is always on 100% full throttle.
I installed MSI Afterburner to try to lower the speed manually but it didn't seem to work (Even though the RPM is changing inside the program), I checked the temps and they are 47 idle and a maximum of 63 stressed (Via Kombustor that installs with Afterburner).
He's complaining about the fan noise. The fan keeps getting dusty too often because of it sucking the air inside the case.
I cleaned it and even changed the thermal paste but it's still the same. I am also using the latest Nvidia drivers freshly downloaded.(301.42)
The card had fan control before.
Any ideas on what's wrong ? The repair is due till the end of the month.
