Thanks for the heads up, I have that driver installed on my GTX260 and just looked at the fan speed and it's set to auto and is fluctuating between 64 and 65% but the temp is where it meant be at 55c, normally it sits at 40% unless it under load so there is something a bit strange with this one, lucky I haven't been playing any games on it yet.

Thank God they haven't released that driver for notebooks graphic cards also...
I immediately checked my driver when I read this!

They state that the long awaited DPC Latency fixes are included in these. No word on heat issues with these so far but be cautious.
