So somehow or another, the fan header on my NVIDIA card has gone bad. Plugging the fan into the socket on the board yields a fan that doesn't spin. If I plug the fan into my motherboard, it spins full speed.
Since this is pretty darn loud, I put a fanmate between the motherboard and the GPU fan so I can run it quiet in the OS and crank up the cooling when I'm gaming -- but it sucks to go digging around in my case every time I want to play a game and the card overheats if I don't crank up the speed.
So here's what I want to do: use some sort of fan control software (something like speedfan) to detect GPU temp and adjust a fan header on my motherboard accordingly. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get speedfan to detect my GPU temp. Going in through the NVIDIA control panel shows the GPU temp fine, but there's nothing there to control the fan speed of some random header on my motherboard.
Anyone have any ideas on programs that can read the GPU temp and control system fans?
