Probably never would have figured out how to do this without the help of this video. You should also add that background hardware monitoring must be enabled for these profiles to work. I discovered this after running my card up to 90C in Furmark with the fan never going above 40%.
Hi, I cant get mine to work and i'm not too sure how to check. For the 1st customize button that i clicked, i only have 3 icons there: low-level refresh rate setting, low-level desktop color schemes and graphics subsystem diagnostic report. I'm using a samsung r480 laptop with Nvidia Geforce GT330M. Would really appreciate any help i can get. Many thanks in advance!
Do know how to get this to work with two graphic cards? I have created the fan profiles for both cards. When I go to set the items under the 'Launcher' tab, it works fine for which ever one is selected on the 'Main' tab. For the other card it says, "Fan profile is no longer valid or it is corrupted. Do you want to edit menu item and browse for another profile now?" If I switch cards on the 'Main' tab, then the profile work fine for that one, but now not the first. Thanks for your help.
I decided to check if it worked, so i started FurMark, without running RivaTuner..
After a minute i was worried.. cuz my fans were still on 40%, so i started Rivatuner, and then fans went up to 100%, but at that time my core temp was at over 100C!!
I know, it's my fault cuz I should have read the description.. However, you could have made it a bit clearer :/
Oh well, my GPU still works fine, although that's a miracle i guess..
@YstenID how the fuck did you get your gpu 100 degrees??? i swear to get this high your fans would be either dysfunctional or clogged up with dustballs
@ZiomASek300 probably dust inside the card or something.. I have removed all the dust on the top. i got nVidia gtx 275, and apparently it can handle a few sec on 100+ degrees :P
Hello there Sir... can you help me overclock my graphics card? its a Inno3D Geforce 9500 GT 512mb ddr2. I dont know the exact core clock,shader clock, and memory clock so that I can get a stable overclock of my GPU.
I have a question, why are the fan profile bars different thickness? I mean, my 100% profile has a greater thickness than the 40% profile and the 2 other profiles are very narrow in thickness?
This doesn't work for me. The fan duty cycle doesn't follow the profile. It just stays where its manually dragged to. The only way its automated, is if I set back to auto control instead of direct control, in which case the nvidia auto lets it get hotter than hell. Anyone know what's wrong? No one else has mentioned this problem. I followed to the letter.
@jaylenoh Go to the Scheduler tab and press the pause button, then press it again to unpause it and reset the schedule. It turns it off if you set the fan speed manually so you have to turn it back on again.
First off i don't have the hardware monitoring button, i also dont have the customize button for force ware detected, can you please help, i did everything right.. i hate computers.
When i set speed to 80% manualy it goes 3800rpm, but when change it to 100% speed does not change, why? I can hear when it speeds up from 40% to 60% to 80 but there is no difference between 80% and 100%.
thanx man.my gpu temp was reaching 90 c easly when im playing. (gta iv bfbc2..).now it stays for hours at 65 c in game and max fan speed 80% .awsome tutorial :)
why i dont have this that is on second 9 (0.09) i have only 2 low something and the other i dont remember can any1 help me with this i am with : nvidia gt 420m (laptop) and core i5 i want this programe so i can make my laptop faster please send me massages for contact :/
@kimnig if your able to cause a card to stay at a burning temperature long enough for it to break at 100% fan speed, then you are doing something horribly wrong or have over clocked too far
I'm running this with a 9800gt, and I've followed this setup word-for-word, but my temps are reaching 105°, and the launcher does not activate the 100% fan speed. In fact, the fan speed just stays at 50%.
I was better off just using the built-in software.
So... When i have created athe fan profiles and "Scheludered" them can i change the "Direct Control" to "Auto Control" without messing with the scheluder? Or should i just keep it as direct control? Ty!
hey.. bro ihave w7 x64 bit and also have 5770x2 ati videocard when i installed new revatuner 2.24 version i dint see the DRIVER SETTINGS ,would you tell me how to make this work on w7 x64bit
hey i have XFX GeForce 9800 GTX+ ,and i just wanna aks you,when i am playing a game,the fan goes up to 80%,that is good ,but when i get out of the game ,the fan isnt going down,he stays on 80%,and when i transfer to direct control ,he starts to go down,i mean fan,then he goes down do 60% or 55% ,or something like that ,but why isnt fan going slower automatically,why do i have to do that?????thanks....;)
Hey man I wanted to take a min out to say TYVM!! I have a fairly decent comp.
Intel core i7 920 2x nVidia GTX 260's
12 GB DDR3 Ram
on a Hannspree 28" HDTV @ 1900x1200
Im a WoW raider/wannabe pvp'er
I noticed that in raids I was gettin about 80C not terrible but I would hear my fan rev up then slow down then rev up slow down etc. I implemented your tut. and I gotta say Ive noticed a much smoother performance, TBH its what I expect from this comp from the get go. Not gone above 66c tyvm
Ok I'd appreciate if you could help me with this, whenever i try to save my settings to 40% or whichever other fan speed it automatic jumps back to the default setting ..
You still have the Customize button the the graphics card one (the top one).. click customize on that and do the same again but without the Driver customizer. Tahats what i did.. now its running at 25'C
Thanks, this helped alot. I was using MSI Afterburner for a day before I got sick of Powerplay on the 4670 (made alt tab times rediculous). Always loved rivatuner above all other OC software
Thank you very much. I've been using manually-controlled profiles before (which works fine), but ran my fan speeds a little higher than needed, from 60-70% for most games. Now I can set them a little lower for a quieter PC without having to worry about monitoring my temps every so often. Thanks! :-)
Wow this is so screwed up while I was gaming there fan profiles didn't kick in and the retarded nvidia fan control went to 30% while my gpu was flaming at 90c my normal is 60c.
this is an epic tutorial. i had the same problem as goodday2yousir - the fan speed would reset seemingly whenever it felt like it, and i was getting up to the high 90's while under load. using this i've added another 20-25% clock speed and the temp stays around low-mid 80's.
thanks a lot for taking the time to do this *thumbs up
A very useful tutorial. I just wanted to know if the fan runs on more than 95% for long periods of time, say 4 hours or so continuously would it damage anything....like the fan? I follow your video step by step but my fan speed starts from 94%......? A bit confused here :S
I'm do exactly this, yet my fan speed doesn't change at all. There's no noticeable sound different. I'm running Vista, 8800 Ultra, and 197.45 drivers. Help?
wow thank you so much for making this video it helped me out soooooo sooo much nivida gpu fan are really bad today it kept going out and i had to call for help so i searched this up and mad did this make a difference my gpu was going at 83c and i was getting worried so i did this and now I'm running at 71-74 average it has helped me incredibly i don't know how much to thank you for those of you thinking about it when your gpu is hot i strongly encourage u to do it it will help a lot.
Thank-you so much! When i play GTA IV, about 30 minutes into the game my screen turns off, but the PC is still running. It was overheated, now it doesn't! THANKS!
Urhm, whenever I try to make fan profiles and click a certain percent i.e. 60 %, and when i press apply it jumps back to 35 %... Anyone knows why? Would be AWESOME.
in the right part...) then everything was on minimium....i was like wtf... cuz i remember when i first used riva tuner all the settings were on the middle....now that all is on lowest how the fuck will i underclock my graphics card omg im desesperate and the only person that could help me with that is too busy to give me a hand
omg....i formated my pc and bought new hd for it cuz my old one was shattered.
long time ago there was a good tuto bout rivatuner and i knew how to do almost everything (im female and nub on those things) but i forgot kinda almost everything..
i have gtx285 and any game or even aquarium screensaver i try to launch makes my comp almost crash ( i had same prob before but i underclocked my graphics card and put fan louder so it got fixed) then i tryed to change the clocks (im not sure if i was in
Hey Bacender...great vid and I like your voice clarity ;) One question...I have a gtx 295, so I have 2 gpus. Do I need to do the last part for the core temperature for my "GPU2?"
is there a way to adjust the other fans in my computer with riva?
I think the PSU fan is fine but theres a pretty large fan in the center of my case (cpu fan?) that i'm wondering if i need to speed up, sometimes my screen freezes and the last second or so of audio loops, I have to hard boot using the power switch when this happens because I lose all control. (only during gaming)
I'd also just like to know for the future since i plan on building an OC'd SLI 9800gt system.
(cont.d) My computer isn't fully stock its a gateway that I tinkered with, added a couple gigs of ram and switched out the old 8500gt for a single 9800, also upgraded PSU from 400 to 650w since i plan on needing the extra power soon when I rebuild most of my system.
When these crashes occur and I boot right back up I check my core temp in riva and its usually around 65-70c. I didn't think it was supposed to be an issue until 80 or 90c but maybe its dropping a lot of heat on the crash.
Thanks for making this video, it helped me out a lot to set up a fan profile for my gtx260. I didn't like how the drivers kept the fan speed at 40% all the way up until 72c, creating a custom fan profile helped to keep the temperatures lower while still keeping fan noise tolerable. Didn't even know rivatuner had such advanced options.
Thank you rly much mate =) i got a 8800gts from a friend the other day and i was worried of it getting to 75 while playin and in about 80 i had some Grafical errors but now i think i got the temp under Controll thank you very much mate =)
Thanks alot dude I really appreciate you taking the time to do this video, my GPU was getting me worried because I wasn't sure if any proper fan control was implemented, now I know im safe and sound:-)!
Hi, i do not have the fan tab. My graphic card is Geforce G105M. Tried installing other versions of rivatuner but still the same. Is it that i don't have a fan or something? Please help me as i m GPU temperature is always high and kept having crashes in game.
hey bacender...about your FAQ, the first one. Q: Does RivaTuner have to be in my tray / running for this to work? here in youtube you wrote "YES, IT DOES" but i saw this tutorial in some other site and you answered "No" in the other site..it's a little bit confusing. Which is true? "YES" or "NO"?
Thanks a lot for the tutorial! My graphics card was running hot as hell till i came upon this video. Just wondering, would i need to open up rivaturner every time I turn on my computer? Or would it automatically apply the affects everytime I log on?
One question though. Your faq says that riva tuner doesn't have to be running for this to engage. However, my profiles only activate when rivatuner is open. Do I need to enable the 'run at windows startup' option?
I've implemented the ideas in this tutorial, but I find that the temps creep up, the fan increases, gpu cools, fan decreases - and then repeats after about 2 minutes. It kind of goes into a loop.
Before adjusting in RivaTuner, my load temps were 85 (didn't even hear the fan, don't know what it was waiting for before really kicking in).
Should I increases the gap between the temp thresholds?
The way i combat that is by making more fan profiles. I kept the video short by only using 40, 60, 80, and 100. On my own computer i use 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100% fan profiles.
I have a GT220 and my PC keeps crashing due to overheat my PC is on idle at 70 - 75 and during gaming its over 100 and I want to increase the speed of my fan. However Riva is giving me "No Additional Information Available" and I don't have the menu to change my fanspeed can you please help.
Hello Bacender. i noticed you have the graphic card pic with "customize" under Target adaptor which I do not have. From what I read it got something to do with the "low level system" option enabled. How do I do that?
9600GT, windows 7 32 bit, 192.21. All my games had been crashing within 5 mins of gameplay due to 196.75 overheating issue. But despite reverting back to the old driver the card is still overheating, all my games are still crashing like no tomorrow. Thought of using this to solve the heat problem.
hmm...seems to only work for my setup when I've got rivatuner open. I can click ok and close it and it'll stay on whatever fan setting it's at, but doesn't change. I then open rivaruner again, open the hardware monitoring graphs and then it starts to change the fan speed as it should, and if I ok out of rivatuner again, it just stays at the current fan speed until I open it back up and display the hardware monitor graphs again....any suggestions?
Excellent tutorial. I'm not overclocking, but, I've burned out two previous cards on my old machine, and now that i've finally got a new computer, I'm wondering if it's worth doing this from the start. I had no idea that nvidia cards are, by default, allowed to "cook" a bit before the fan kicks in.
My PC freezes in games (only) so I thought this could fix the problem but it didn't. Should I be hearing the fan getting louder when I set it on 100%? I hear no difference.
damn i have an issue with my graphic card. its ATI Radeon 2600 XT HD, it goes black screen ("no signal" on my screen) and sound loops when i play games (even in lesser demanding like CS 1.6, but not in COD MW??) its very random. i have googled this, but i think its overheating. i havent configured anything on my card whatsoever (overclock etc.) so i wonder if this method might solve my probleM?
Nice video, fixed my graphic (card 8800 GS) from overheating. The only thing i couldn't do was to set the Data sampling period. There was no option for that what so ever. I have RivaTuner V2.11 btw. Perhaps my video card just cannot support it. Or v2.11 doesn't support the Data Sampling Period. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for the guide, worked a treat.

this is an epic tutorial. i had the same problem as goodday2yousir - the fan speed would reset seemingly whenever it felt like it, and i was getting up to the high 90's while under load. using this i've added another 20-25% clock speed and the temp stays around low-mid 80's.
thanks a lot for taking the time to do this *thumbs up

My Fan Speed Keeps restarting and going back to 25% while im in a game giving me black screens and I cant figure out how to fix it
GoodDay2YouSir 1 year ago
A very useful tutorial. I just wanted to know if the fan runs on more than 95% for long periods of time, say 4 hours or so continuously would it damage anything....like the fan? I follow your video step by step but my fan speed starts from 94%......? A bit confused here :S

is there a way to adjust the other fans in my computer with riva?
I think the PSU fan is fine but theres a pretty large fan in the center of my case (cpu fan?) that i'm wondering if i need to speed up, sometimes my screen freezes and the last second or so of audio loops, I have to hard boot using the power switch when this happens because I lose all control. (only during gaming)
I'd also just like to know for the future since i plan on building an OC'd SLI 9800gt system.
alphaguitar2 1 year ago
(cont.d) My computer isn't fully stock its a gateway that I tinkered with, added a couple gigs of ram and switched out the old 8500gt for a single 9800, also upgraded PSU from 400 to 650w since i plan on needing the extra power soon when I rebuild most of my system.
When these crashes occur and I boot right back up I check my core temp in riva and its usually around 65-70c. I didn't think it was supposed to be an issue until 80 or 90c but maybe its dropping a lot of heat on the crash.
alphaguitar2 1 year ago
Thanks for making this video, it helped me out a lot to set up a fan profile for my gtx260. I didn't like how the drivers kept the fan speed at 40% all the way up until 72c, creating a custom fan profile helped to keep the temperatures lower while still keeping fan noise tolerable. Didn't even know rivatuner had such advanced options.
This is what I've been using initially:
40%: 0-55c
45%: 56-65c
50%: 66-73c
55%: 74-78c
60%: 79-82c
70%: 83+c

Hi, i do not have the fan tab. My graphic card is Geforce G105M. Tried installing other versions of rivatuner but still the same. Is it that i don't have a fan or something? Please help me as i m GPU temperature is always high and kept having crashes in game.
bonnycrook321 1 year ago
The G105M is a mobile graphics card (laptops).
As such, it probably does not have its own dedicated fan, or is part of a larger heatpipe controlled by the BIOS.

hey bacender...about your FAQ, the first one. Q: Does RivaTuner have to be in my tray / running for this to work? here in youtube you wrote "YES, IT DOES" but i saw this tutorial in some other site and you answered "No" in the other site..it's a little bit confusing. Which is true? "YES" or "NO"?

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! My graphics card was running hot as hell till i came upon this video. Just wondering, would i need to open up rivaturner every time I turn on my computer? Or would it automatically apply the affects everytime I log on?
MajinBoo321 1 year ago
Great tutorial.
One question though. Your faq says that riva tuner doesn't have to be running for this to engage. However, my profiles only activate when rivatuner is open. Do I need to enable the 'run at windows startup' option?
derdeb 1 year ago 3
That's a mistake, and has been fixed. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
Bacender 1 year ago
No problem.
I've implemented the ideas in this tutorial, but I find that the temps creep up, the fan increases, gpu cools, fan decreases - and then repeats after about 2 minutes. It kind of goes into a loop.
Before adjusting in RivaTuner, my load temps were 85 (didn't even hear the fan, don't know what it was waiting for before really kicking in).
Should I increases the gap between the temp thresholds?
derdeb 1 year ago
The way i combat that is by making more fan profiles. I kept the video short by only using 40, 60, 80, and 100. On my own computer i use 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100% fan profiles.
The gaps are as follows:
40% = 0-55°C
50% = 56-60°C
60% = 61-65°C
70% = 66-70°C
80% = 71-75°C
90% = 76-80°C
100% = 81-infinity°C

Hello Bacender. i noticed you have the graphic card pic with "customize" under Target adaptor which I do not have. From what I read it got something to do with the "low level system" option enabled. How do I do that?

Why is it that when i pulled my tab to 40% and click apply, the tab will revert back to its original value (35%)?
NoShame86 1 year ago
Driver issue most probably.
Would be helpful if you specified what graphics card, operating system, and driver version you're using though!
Bacender 1 year ago
9600GT, windows 7 32 bit, 192.21. All my games had been crashing within 5 mins of gameplay due to 196.75 overheating issue. But despite reverting back to the old driver the card is still overheating, all my games are still crashing like no tomorrow. Thought of using this to solve the heat problem.
NoShame86 1 year ago
for sli, I suppose I'd just want to make a core temperature range at 40,60,etc for both gpu 0 and 1?
Viper2026 1 year ago
hmm...seems to only work for my setup when I've got rivatuner open. I can click ok and close it and it'll stay on whatever fan setting it's at, but doesn't change. I then open rivaruner again, open the hardware monitoring graphs and then it starts to change the fan speed as it should, and if I ok out of rivatuner again, it just stays at the current fan speed until I open it back up and display the hardware monitor graphs again....any suggestions?

My PC freezes in games (only) so I thought this could fix the problem but it didn't. Should I be hearing the fan getting louder when I set it on 100%? I hear no difference.

damn i have an issue with my graphic card. its ATI Radeon 2600 XT HD, it goes black screen ("no signal" on my screen) and sound loops when i play games (even in lesser demanding like CS 1.6, but not in COD MW??) its very random. i have googled this, but i think its overheating. i havent configured anything on my card whatsoever (overclock etc.) so i wonder if this method might solve my probleM?

Nice video, fixed my graphic (card 8800 GS) from overheating. The only thing i couldn't do was to set the Data sampling period. There was no option for that what so ever. I have RivaTuner V2.11 btw. Perhaps my video card just cannot support it. Or v2.11 doesn't support the Data Sampling Period. Any help would be appreciated.
