i have GT 9800 zotac can it works on it?

@NgRaEr Should do if it has a fan attached, give it a try as it doesn't take long and you should be able to hear if it made any difference to the fan speed

BTW, u forgot 2 mention abt the nvidia system tools(which adds d performance tab in the nv control panel, u will need nvidia system tools)

Hello again.

I've dowloaded the System Tools...I can change the fan speed on the screen, but I can not hear it going up in rpm as we do in your video...In facdt it does nothing on my GPU...still eedeling at 70°C. My fan power cord is plugged directly on the GPU and not on my mother board...Still in need of some help.

@BigPitter Follow the link in my description and click on Nvidia System Tools and download the file. This should add the performance tab to your Nvidia Control Panel which is where you can modify the GPU settings and also the fan speed on the GPU...try this and let me know if you get results

@BigPitter I have dowloaded Speed Fan and EVGA Precision, and with EVGA I can, at least in theire aplication (it show speed fan at 90%), increase my fan speed, but it does not seem to influence my GPU fan in real...
