			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a quick one. I&#8217;ve recently purchased an additional card to go in my Ubuntu machine, but my cards when set up in SLI were running very hot.</p>
<p>Using the information found <a href="http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/nvidia-17782-linux-drivers-fan-control/">here</a> I was able to stick one GPU into auto fan mode, however the second GPU would stay at a fixed value and be overheating.</p>
<p>Looking at the man page for nvclock I found that you can use a command line switch to list and control individual  GPUs.</p>
<p>First install nvclock and nvclock-gtk</p>
<blockquote><p>sudo apt-get install nvclock nvclock-gtk</p></blockquote>
<p>Secondly open up nvclock-gtk</p>
<blockquote><p>sudo nvclock_gtk</p></blockquote>
<p>You may need to set a fan speed under &#8216;Hardware Monitor&#8217; for each GPU, after you&#8217;ve done this use the following commands</p>
<blockquote><p>nvclock -s</p></blockquote>
<p>This command gives a list of all the (nvidia) GPUs connected to the system.</p>
<blockquote><p>nvclock -c 1 -f -F auto</p>
<p>nvclock -c 2 -f -F auto</p></blockquote>
<p>Repeat the above command for each GPU you want to be put in auto mode. You should now see in nvclock-gtk the fan speeds, under &#8216;Hardware Monitoring&#8217; adjusting up and down, automatically on there own.</p>
<p>If you want this done automatically at login then you can add the commands (one at a time unfortunately, unless you make a script) to your sessions System &gt; Preferences &gt; Startup Application as shown <a href="http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/nvidia-17782-linux-drivers-fan-control/">here</a></p>
