The fan does have a tachometer which you can monitor from the card BIOS or using the cli binary. You can also disable the tachometer so you can swap the heatsink+fan for the larger heatsink (w/o fan) that comes in the box. You can find all of this out by *gasp* reading the manual. --Geoff _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
