Is there a miner (or other software) that will tie the fan speed of an Alienware Aurora-R4 to the temperature (or fan speed) of the GPU?

When I mine, my PCIe fan needs to sometimes blow at a higher rate for the GPU's to stay cool.

However, they're very noisy (much more so than the GPU fan), so I don't want it to run at > 70% all day.



cgminer does a great job when it comes to fan & speed control of the GPU itself, but it doesn't control my PCI fans. Is there a way to make it do that?


Alienware has the Alienware Comand Center that can dynamically adjust fans, but its useless. The internal temperature sensors always show 25 degrees C (it's a well known issue with the Alienware Aurora), and it doesn't seem to be able to look at the GPU.
