"Sleepy" NV GPU - how to "wake up" ?

I`m using MSI Afterburner.
Works on nvidia also.

Thanks, Mike. Downloading...
EDIT: looks like this utility is successor of RivaTuner too.

MSI Afterburner works as a service? With out need to log on any user?

You need to log in.
GPU access is only allowed for a logged in user. So no service.

Windows Server 2003 (see opening post) is comparable to Windows XP - and Windows XP allows services to access the GPU, even when the service logs on using a different account than the foreground user.

Is it possible to flash required fan settings directly in GPU own BIOS memory?

Maybe you can try this instead:

It's got a fan speed setting and the tools are tied into the NVIDIA Control Panel and can be made to work at startup, but I'm not sure about your Windows version.

Works nice on older cards.
It's a legacy program, they stopped developing a while.

EDIT: here the survived link on binary from some mirror:
Unfortunately, binary not available for download. only description is available.

Does this link help?

(or is that the link you tried already?)
This should give you the slider you are looking for in the NV Control Panel

Edit: I know you said you probably already fixed the problem, but this is a cool tool for you to play around with:)

Yes, this link works. Looks like Russian NV site keeps old stuff instead of USA one..

Nothing gets by Claggy:)

I didn't link to the new version because Raistmer is using old drivers on an even older card. Should have mentioned it though, so thanx!

You also gave me the idea to look at the dates of the driver a bit closer and I'm pretty sure this version should work without any trouble too:

Anyone know any program that allow to control the GPU fan and runs as a service?

Maybe the NVIDIA Tools (links) above. I can't check myself because the fan feature is greyed out (doesn't work) on my laptop...

OK Thanks for the info, almost forgot that XP still exists.

We need something more "generic" something that could work in a wide range of cards. Anything that could run as a service on Windows.

Something like like the EVGA precison or MSI AFterburner fan controlthat runs as a service... Need to add that to the christmas wich lists.

I belive not all are confortable to make any changes, at the BIOS level, on a >US$ 1000 GTX690 for example.

I could agree if i have 1 or 2 cards, but is dificult to do that if you have more than 15 GPUs with a mix of diferent models, people like me needs something more "generic" than a hardware solution.

But something i´m with you, you could never trust in a windows service, but what other solution i could use?

If you don't mind the noise, there is a simple hardware solution. Just find the right adapter to plug the fan into a hard drive cable. As soon as you boot, the fan goes to 100% and stays there. I did this to the rear case fan on one of my machines using this adapter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189119 No more fooling around with speedfan...
You might have trouble finding the right adapter, and it would be noisy :)

tthrottle can be set to load at log in,i think it runs as a service never checked.

the hardware solution does sound best will be implementing myself,software solutions depend on the software running correctly all the time and sometimes it does not.
