GPU Fan never slows down after upgrading to NVidia 169.21 driver

Question for you guys...I recently bought an eVGA 8800GTS 512 (G92) card. Installed the 169.21's & then Rivatuner 2.06. Since this card is so new, you have to tweak the rivatuner.cfg file so that it sees the card. I've done that, and then added a "3" in the Power User/fan section to enable the low level tweaks...but for some reason I still don't get the low level system settings box. Should I just blow away everything, reinstall the 169.21's and Rivatuner again? Not sure why Riva isn't seeing the card.

Edit: This card runs hot @ stock fan speeds! ~62c idle, 80c load! D'oh!

Update: Got it working...seems I had edited the .cfg file incorrectly

So, in summary, to get it working w/ the GTS, add 600h to the G92 line under
[GPU_10DE]:

G92 = 610h-61Fh,600h

Then under the power user tab, add the value "3" to RivaTuner \ Fan --> AutoFanSpeedControl, and restart Rivatuner.

Hum...I'm using the 169.02 driver, and COD4 looks awesome with the 8800GT. I just got the game installed and got to the training point only since I ran out of time.
