Riva Tuner and 8800GTS Fan Loads

[Viol8ted]

On idle temp I get 71c on Load after couple hours of gaming 77c. I know this is well in range of these cards, because they "run hot". My question is, if I use Riva Tuner and set the fan to run at 100% always idle and load. Will there be any adverse affect? I don't want to damage the card or burn out the fan. Anyone doing what I'm trying to do?? What say you??

If nothing else, the noise of the fan running at full load all the time will drive you crazy in no time.

I don't mind fans...I used to use Delta's :|

the fan on my 8800gts @ 100% is quiet as a mouse compaired to my x1950xt fan @ 100%.

Unless you start the fan on fire:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
