Greetings,

I am having trouble with my graphics card fan speed when I boot into runlevel 3 on my Fedora 12 machine. Normally, when I boot into runlevel 5, my fan speed goes down to a tolerable level; however, the fan speed does not go down when I boot into runlevel 3 - rather, it is very loud! I suspect that the nvidia driver is tied somehow to my X session. I have a GeForce GT 220 Nvidia graphics card coupled with the 190.36.24 nvidia driver.

Is there any way I can reduce the fan speed when I boot into runlevel 3?

By the way, I have tried nvclock v0.8 Beta 4, but upon trying to adjust the fan speed to an arbitrary value (within limits 1-100), I get the following:


I am currently running in the 2.6.32.12-115.fc12.x86_64 kernel.

Thank you,

A.C.

Maybe fan uses single-speed instead of dynamic speed in runlevel 3.

Hardware:You can lower cpu-fan speed by adding "simple fan cable addon"

yooy, thank you for your reply. What do you mean by "simple fan cable addon"? Also, what's the difference between single speed and dynamic speed (Apart from the connotation that single speed probably means static speed and dynamic speed probably means "change according to gpu temp")? Is there any way I can control the fan speed at a software level?

Thanks,

A.C.
