Hi Martin, I was asked to clarify a few things: (1) Are all the user reports of loud fans on Fermi-era GPUs? (2) When the VBIOS POSTs the card, it loads initial ucode onto the Falcon processor (PMU), which will do basic fan management on its own. We call this init ucode "IFR" (Init From ROM).

Hi Martin, This is just a quick ACK. I've started an internal email thread and we'll see if we can get back to you soon. Yes, our thermal and fan control definitely changes a lot which the various chip architectures. I'm continually impressed by how much the SW+HW has been able to improve

Hello, Some users have been complaining for years about their GPU sounding like a jet engine at take off. Last year, I finally laid my hand on one of these GPUs and have been trying to fix this issue on and off since then. After failing to find anything in the HW, I figured out that the duty
