Oh Shoot, No RPM Info On the 9600GT

[divinebaboon]

So I was reading expreview and I saw this:
According to Rivatuner’s writer Unwinder, 9600GT’s fan speed can not be read in RPM, because while NVIDIA designing the 9600GT PCB， they did not add a sensor chip which is “able to digitize pulses from the fan’s tachometer pin”. So when we use Rivatuner we are not able to detect the actual RPM of the fan.

The RPM reading is not a big deal, but 9600GT is a over-150USD mid to high range card. NV just saving every penny to make it really feels like a low end.


Can anybody confirm?Solaris?
