Nividia Control Panel - Device Rule

Hi,

 

newbie... I got the XPS 630 this morning.  I am still trying to copy all my stuffs from my old computer.  So, I am playing around with control panel... I am checking the temperature.  The GPU is running at 70+C.  It seems very hot.   There is an option in the "Device Rule" that can adjust the fan speed based on the temperature.  So, I pick the default rule to adjust the fan speed.

 

It doesn't seem to do anything though.  Do I need to set up something else to have the rule active?

 

Thanks!

    I couldn't get mine to work either, so I just made a profile I load at startup and increase my fans to 90%

    Do you guys know after I add a rule, do I have to save a new profile and have it setup in the Profile Policy?

     

    Maybe the new rule does not kick in before it is set up in the Profile Prolicy?

     

    Hmmm...

    I couldn't get any device rules to take in the nVidia control panel either.  I also can't seem to modofy any game profiles either because as soon as I close the control panel, it resets to the default settings again.

    Hello all.  This is a very old post, but it seems that it still applies.  I got a 630i a year ago and Dell thought it was a great idea to install it with OS conflicting drivers.  After a lot of problems I've formatted the system a uploaded the up to date Nvidia drivers.  My situation is exactly the same as in this post.  My GPU heats to 75+ and I want to use the device rules, but they won't work.  All posts I've seen say that Nvidia Control Panel is usless and that you should use RivaTuner.  I've looked at this and, in my opinion, it's not very user friendly.  Anyone had any luck with their device rules?

    Use MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision.  Both are great for controlling fan speed and you don't need to own either of their cards.
