Listmates,

I have been chasing an issue on Arch having to do with the 8800GT in it. A couple of weeks ago there was a driver update from Nvidia that has caused the fans on my video card to really take off. With all drivers before that there wasn't a noise issue. The box is dual boot with openSuSE 11.0 so I can confirm that this is an arch/nvidia issue. Has anyone else noticed fan speed increases on your NV cards here lately? If so, any solutions??

Hello I suggest you take it up with nvidia, as only they have access to the source code. Nothing much we can do about it. Best regards, Glenn
