Siron macrumors 6502 Original poster Feb 22, 2008 #1 Does anyone know if the program SMC fan control will work when booted into XP via Bootcamp? I am running the game Crysis and I think my Video card may be running hot as after about three hours the game slows to around 15FPS. Thanks Alan

FF_productions macrumors 68030 Feb 22, 2008 #3 Hmm strange, how could it slow down from the heat? I don't think it'll automatically underclock the video card and reduce performance. Not sure about the issue but I doubt fan control will help.
