I know under windows I can adjust my GPU fan speed, but can not find anything for Mac OSX like that. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am thinking some frame lag I experience in WoW is caused by the GPU running too hot. I have also upgraded the heatsink on my EVGA 8800 GT to their bigger cooler. Thanks for the help.
 
Hot cards don't cause frame lag, it causes artifacts. Where do you experience frame lag and what settings are you using?
 
I am using the standard settings of 1 AA at 1920x1200 with some of the settings maxed out. It is weird that I could stand in **** with a ton going on and no lag then something like RoS or Council and get it.
 
Okay, I wouldn't think they would be that much, but you never know. I am going to fully reboot my machine prior to doing the encounter again. I would still be interested to find a way to adjust the GPU fan speed in OSX.
