Graphc Card Heating Up ....

[faeq_shabbu]

I have a Toshiba p100-324,2.16Ghz and Nvidia Go 7900gs card. The fan of the GPU runs at a constant slow speed from the startup till shutdown. It does not go to the maximum speed even though the temperature is 90 degrees. Please could someone help me.

Have you tried updating the drivers?

Or perhaps the GPU fan itself is faulty?
Take a look at the fan and see if it is easy to replace. You can get a new fan for a very cheap price from hardware shop.

Try SpeedFan.

SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info and show hard disk temperatures. SpeedFan supports SCSI disks too. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). SpeedFan can access digital temperature sensors and can change fan speeds accordingly, thus reducing noise. SpeedFan can find almost any hardware monitor chip connected to the 2-wire SMBus (System Management Bus (trademark belonging to SMIF, Inc.), a subset of the I2C protocol) and works fine with Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, XP and Windows Vista. It works with Windows 64 bit too.
