Asus M50sv and Nvidia 9650m upgrade

[Tony2k]

The original 9500m GS partially fried last week so I bought a 9650m and I have modded the bios swapping the module from M50v bios.
The laptop boot and the gpu it's recognised from win 7 but I have only a problem, the fan now work always at the max speed. If I install the 9500m the fan work normally with this modded bios.
It's a big problem because the laptop it's too noisy... what can I do?
In the attachment you can see three rom: first it's original of my notebook, second it's my modded version and third it's M50v bios, this laptop mount the 9650m vga.

Hm im not sure on this one mate as your laptop does boot and windows recognizes the gpu.

One interesting thing would be are there any settings in the original bios to control GPU fan? If so , do these bioss ettings work correctly with the swapped VGA module?

You can download and install Rivatuner from http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=163 which will allow you to change GPU fan settings from within windows

The problem it's inside the bios because the fan start at max speed when I push the power botton. Windows recognize che gpu but can't adjust the fan, tried also with Rivatuner and with a mod in the vbios.
Do you know if we can take any modules from the M50v bios?

I'm not sure on this, but like ati catalyst aren't the fan speeds controlable in the NVIDIA Control Panel. If not, you may get away with replacing a VGA ROM from the other mobos mentioned, but were talking about a laptop so one bad flash and you are out of luck.

Through some newly discovered content , we could also overclock your existing integrated VGA instead of replacing the ROM but this is extremely experimental

Hi!

Are you still around? If so, did you fix the problem?

No idea what is going wrong, but, one question : Can you see the temperature of the VGA card if you use any monitoring software? (e.g Nvidia Control Panel?)

Is there is only one fan? If so, it would have to be controlled by the main BIOS, which would read the CPU temperature, as well as the GPU temperature, and then put the fan speed to high if one of them is very hot; is it possible to see the GPU temp in the BIOS at all? does it say 0 degrees, or some other incorrect value?

If you are around, do check back; I am currently fitting an 9650M GT to my A8JS (original card = GeForce Go 7700!) so I'm sure I will come across a similiar issue!

HI!

I've the similar problem!!!

My laptop is an Asus M50vn with 9700m gt ddr3 (before was 9650m gt ddr2) and when I press the power button the fan run always at 100%...
I've a modded bios with a video rom from an Asus G50(which's the only that mount a 9700m gt).

P.S. initially Gpuz recognized my motherboard as an M50vn, and after, with the modded bios, Gpuz recognizes my motherboard as a "generic" M50V...! Could be an interesting info for you?

I hope that someone can help me!

Hi!

I don't know what to do about the M50 upgrades (the problem where the fan goes to 100%). I think that the fan is controlled by the main BIOS and there is some configuration somewhere that ASUS change in the M50 so that the BIOS can read that particular card. When we replace the vBIOS, it all works, but the main BIOS can't read the card temperature, so goes into emergency full-cooling mode to be safe.

Without an M50 here I don't know how we could work around this, unfortunately. Are there any fan control utilities that you could use to speed up / slow down the fan? If so it might be possible to somehow override the BIOS setting once you get into Windows / Linux / Other OS...
