Hello all! My name is Murphnator and I am brand new to folding within the last week or so.
I have a couple questions but first here is some background info,I have installed 2 GPU clients and 1 CPU client.
I am running an Nvidia system,780i mobo, E8400@ dual core CPU at stock clock 3.0,dual 9800gtx GPU's.
I have no problem running all three clients at the same time,I have disabled SLI,hooked up another monitor,extended desktop the whole bit.
So here's the questions,1) I must have missed this in a thread some where but,are we not able to run 2 GPU diplays at the same time?
And second,when in SLI mode I am able to control the fan speed's of both GPU's with a program called riva tuner, but when disaled,I can only control 1 of the GPU fans and heat becomes a big problem,the nvidia control panel GPU fan control has never worked,so is there another program out the that will control these fans?

1. It's able still to run 2 displays on the same time. Actually, You have to extend desktop to other display prior running GPU client, as You did.

2. I use NVIDIA Control Panel for fan control and it works pretty well. May be You have old driver or older version CP? You can download it from Nvidia site: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Riva Tuner should be able to control you fans ... you have to select the right board alternatively in the available devices list in Riva Tuner.
