Listmates,
I have an EVGA 8800GT board that is just plain Loud! No overclocking, just the default 600,900 gpu and memory speeds. I have searched and the closest thing to rivatuner for linux is nvclock. I have installed and worked with nvclock setting the PWM Duty Cycle between 20-90% (nvclock -f -F 20, etc. returning to 'auto'). The change in sound from the fan is almost imperceptible.
Hi David, I've got a 9500 GS board in a new HP desktop that was also very noisy with the stock 11.0 install. It was quiet with Vista, before I blew it away. It quieted down when I installed the Nvidia proprietary driver. It's now noisy when the box is first turned on, but quiets down when the Nvidia module is loaded during boot-up. Sure, my kernel is now "tainted", but it seems to be worth it... Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
