On the other hard if you can get temperature readings in software

A micro controller needs equipment and knowhow. A circuit easily can be
build to cause a wanted minimal and a wanted maximal speed.
For my AMD CPU and my PSU with a large fan and my passive graphics
everything is ok by default, no home improvement needed. But it's not a
Laptop, such issues seem to be more common for Laptops.
Noise caused by the computer seldom is OT, since we are writing about
graphics fan noise it's not OT for this thread :).
Btw. if the fan now should be louder than it was some time ago, the
cause might be dirt.
Yeah I do not feel like hacking up the brand new laptop to get fan
control on the video card while I use this one driver.
To me its not really that big of a deal its not like its overheating,
especially once the cooling pad is on. Just figured I would ask since it
is hard to find actual info about this driver on the net. Or at least I
fail other than the basic info page, everything you read you hear people
saying avoid it at all cost. But I am happy as is, especially since I
can cleanly shutdown and reboot. I do not get the red screen of death or
just the lock up killing X and the black screen with a blinking cursor.
Love this list though, you guys have great info all the time !!
