Damn the 7800 go is H O T!

My new lappy is really warm to the touch compared to my 9300.

Sitting here typing this, my 7800 temp is 80deg! it can fluctuate between about 65-80. I think the fan turns off untill 80deg, then it kicks in. Setting it to 'always on' dosent help. Feeling the back outlet supports this.

I think something is wrong somewhere with the settings. How can I check that the fan stays on and the 7800 is switching to 2d settings?

I tried i9k, but the fanio drivers arnt there. I cant get a link either.

found the fanio drivers and installed them, them i9k worked!

I was right, the fan wasnt even on, even tho i'd set it to always on in Nvidia CP.

Forcing it on with I9k brought the temp down to about 60deg. (including 6deg diff)

I have also these high temps, but only in 2D, cause the fan is low running. I monitor it under Linux with the nvidia tool and the core has 80 degrees the, fan is not faster running. With 82 degrees it runs faster and when ~ 70 degrees is reached, it runs slower.

Maybe a next BIOS update helps to improve it more.

Can I set my fan to come on at a certain temp with these fan drivers?

Ok, I used i9kfangui with the fanio drivers. It reads the temps of my GPU as 6* lower than they actually are, and I am still not sure if I am back to stock fan settings after I turned it off. The settings got 'stuck' a couple times even after a reboot, so hopefully reinstalling the chipset drivers will return them to stock.

I9k Is very buggy with the 9400. U can set the fans to high, but after a while they just go to low.
Takes a bit of playing with, but at least im not on 80deg in 2D any more!

Its recommended not to download this program until version 2.4 of it comes out as version 2.3 is not very stable with the 9400...

Yes not recommended or working well, but for me it helps untill the new one gets here.

If I could figure out what the average temps for my T2500 CPU are supposed to be, then I would use the program. The thing I didn't like about it was that it takes over your CPU fan control and your GPU fan control. I just wanted to control my GPU fans as I have no idea what the acceptable temp range is for my Core Duo CPU.

While doing very little, my 2.0 DUO can sit between 27-33deg with I9K. 100% usage it goes right up to 50+. I9K then dosent handle it very well.

Important is here, how much MHz the CPU in idle mode is running (intel speedstep).

I believe it is 800 Mhz, but I could be wrong.
