  • Someone please kill this monster! Fan on 8800 G92 GTS @100% after 169.07 install

    Yes, it is that loud! I'm using OpenSuSE 10.3 x86-64, standard install on a MSI Neo2-FR P35 motherboard with RAID0, all updates through YaST. Should be fine right?

    I just did a normal Nvidia drivers install jsut like the previous version:
    -su
    -init 3
    -sh NV*
    -it complained my Gcc version is newer than the one the Kernel is compiled with, I agreed to this
    -sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia
    And once Sax2 started the fan went berserk! I restarted and the bootup was quiet till xorg and KDE initialised.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    It seems to be a bug on the current drivers.

      Damn, how could something like this pass Nvidia's Q&A? I'll reinstall OpenSuSE tomorrow to see if the problem is reproductible on a vanilla install from the DVD.

        I just reinstalled OpenSuSE 10.3. Same problem as previously mentioned.

        On the plus side, my GPU is at 36 degrees C and am getting >24000 glxgears fps

          For the time being I'm using nvclock. Here are the instructions on how to install the lates nvclock in OpenSuSE:

          Code:
          cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/nvclock login
          *there is no password, just press enter when prompted for it*
          cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/nvclock co -P nvclock
          
          cd nvclock
          sh autogen.sh
          ./configure
          su
          make
          make install
          
          nvclock -T                 <- to check your current temperature
          nvclock -f -F 50           <- for 50% fanspeed
          glxgears                   <- to stress your card
          nvclock -T                 <- make sure it doesn't exceed 90 degrees
