Ok so on my gtx 480's I have 0 control over fan speed on either one. I just did a fresh install of windows 7 64bit. Ive tried installing both the newest and the beta drivers from nvidia. I tried to control the fan speed with msi afterburn, evga precision, and nvidia system tools.
 
All the software says that the fans arnt spinning at all but I can put my hand in and feel it spinning? So what exactly is going on here I dont understand what is wrong with this.
 
My current relevent hardware is
1 evga 760 motherboard
2 Core I7 something processor
3 2 gtx 480 gpus
4 1500watt thermaltake psu

MSI GTX-480+MSI Afterburn=OK
MSI GTX-480+EVGA Precision=Not OK
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the Precision X isn't compatible with ANY other brand than EVGA. So that's probably why you're not seeing any fan speed reports via Precision X.
 
As far as the MSI Afterburn? Hm...I can't touch on that. I'm a die hard fan of EVGA Products. But let's try and get it fixed anyways shall we? Have you tried just one program at a time? Or are you trying to use them all to see results

Does sound like there may be a conflict with trying to run multiple monitoring programs.

Agreed. So try ONE at a time. I would first uninstall Precision X

Maybe uninstall the nVidia tools too. But I'm hoping a Mod or Jacob can jump in here and confirm that the afterburn is not compatible with a evga card.

Can you please list your full specs. While you're at it, Use it as your sig as well.

Just for clarification: Afterburner WILL work with EVGA, because I have been using it with 2xEVGA GTX480SC cards for several months with very few issues. I am definitely no expert on anything.But! I do know it works

ah..ok. 

FYI i just tried afterburner and same issue. It will not allow me to increase the fan speed. Its kind of greyed out. Is there any setting in windows that would account for this. Did I accidently turn off something I shouldnt have

I'm really hoping someone can help. I'm dieing to play dayz

Did you click on the Auto button(Next to Fan Speed%) and hit apply. This should disable Auto Fan and allow you to go into the fan setting and set-up a User Defined Fan Profile. (User Define button located directly to the right of the Auto button)
You should also be able to adjust the fan speed by simply moving the slider from side to side. This should show a corresponding increase or decrease in fan speed %.
It shouldn`t matter that the setting is greyed out. On mine. I can still manipulate the setting even though it is greyed out. 
 
This might help as well

Thanks for al your help I really appreciate it

See that's the thing I can change all the options except the fans. It is greyed out. And its the only one that's greyed out its really weird and agrovating

100 percent sure its evga why does msi have this problem

Well since I was concerened that the cards were over heating I took one out. So now I'm working with only one. And I bought them at different times and there about 1.5 years old

I will do that but since I only have one card in now shouldn't I be able to change the fan speed. I was always able to before. Well this started about a week ago

OH! well if it just happened then damn...What the hell? I will assume that it worked prior the fresh install.
 
Have you tried uninstall the nVidia drivers then using the driver sweeper to remove all the remnants of the drivers?

Bare with me I'm typing all this on a tablet PC. I'm a bit sick so I only get up when u guys tell me to try something
