	Well, I'm sorry I wasn't clearer here. Dieter and Dick nailed the intent of 
my post. I was asking here because the fan issue only effects my Arch Linux 
install on this box and not the openSuSE install. I know the nvidia driver is 
closed source and it is nothing but a black-box to the Linux community in 
general. This issue has come and gone once or twice before over the past 
couple of years and I primarily wanted confirmation whether anyone else 
running Arch had noticed it. I am familiar with the NVidia forums, a 
registered member there, and I have filed bugs with NVidia related to the 
issue.

	But, as was correctly pointed out, I was looking for two things: (1) 
confirmation whether anyone on the Arch list had noticed fan speed increases 
on their NNidia cards in the past several weeks and, if so, (2) whether anyone 
had found a solution?

	Sorry to confuse the issue. Thank you for your responses and help.
