Recently, I've noticed that my GPU temperatures have increased under load. From 70 C under load, to now almost 85 C. This recently came about from a driver upgrade, (195.62), which I suspect to be the culprit. Regardless, I wanted to increase the fan spin speed in order to remove the heat faster, but was unable to. It appears to be stuck at 35%, never altering, even idle or load.
I've tried a number of tools to change the speed; nTune, RivaTuner, EVGA Precision, ATITool (Both 0.26 & 0.27b3). None of these were able to alter the fan speed (Logged by GPU-Z). They all simply revert back to 35, as soon as the change is applied.
I'm doubting it's hardware related, it's a Gigabyte 9800 GTX+, with 1GB GDDR3 and a zalman cooler (not installed by me, but by Gigabyte). Should I roll back the drivers and see if that resolves the issue or does someone have a solution?
