I have fried 2 Nvidia GeForce GO 7950 GTX 512 MB on my old Dell XPS m1710.

Since than been using I8kfanGUI: All versions - Software Informer, it's great but only for 32 bit.

Any other options/utilities to keep the card cool on 64 bit W7/W10??

OR installing linux-lite-4.8-64bit would be a better option?

Thanks.

Hi Snick,

Vista 64 video driver is running fine on both 7 and 10 64 bit.

Am facing an issue with fan utility. 64 bit stalls during install displaying its not digitally signed. Never happened with 32 bit.

How do I go around OR it isn't possible. Am comfortable with this simple utility, just to protect my 3rd video card. Plus it easily links with lap's BIOS.

Thanks.

Why doesn't W7 32bit display that it's an unsigned app/driver vs 64bit.......??

Thanks.

I tried Speedfan but doesn't link with lap's BIOS and ain't that user friendly.

Is astonishing app works on 32 bit and gives error or W7 64 bit and no easy way to go about....

Only reason, am still on Windows 64 is to debloat my Android phone.

Am migrating to Linux.
