Gpu Temp On/Off Fan?
It is possible to have a case fan that comes on when my GPU temp hits a certain temperature but goes (completely) off when it goes below it? I'd want to set the temp myself. Any ideas?

Re: Gpu Temp On/Off Fan?
Use a fan with a thermal sensor. There are a few fan makers that offer these... but I can't vouch for how quiet the fan actually is.readk wrote:It is possible to have a case fan that comes on when my GPU temp hits a certain temperature but goes (completely) off when it goes below it?

I prefer a fan whose speed never changes, which makes it "disappear" into the background, even if it not the absolute quietest. As long as it's quiet & smooth enough and keeps the components cool enough under the worse conditions, steady speed is the fan for me.

Try this Gelid:

Has a thermal sensor on a long wire that you could position somewhere on the video card heatsink.

Is there any software for on/off by desired temperature sensor?
Best program would:
1. read motherboard info to know all the pins and all the sensors
2. set any fan to on/off with any temperature in any sensor
3. give full voltage to start the fan, then reduce voltage to minimum spinning level
4. have desired limits for min/max voltage at min/max temperature for any fan by any sensor
SpeedFan has a lot of good, but not the on/off and not my MB either (ix38 quadGT)
