The latest Nvidia 195.X graphichs driver had trouble with controling the fan.Also the 195.36.03 (beta) and 195.36.08 are now removed from Nvidias download pages.
Nvidia recomends a rolback to the 190.X drivers.

I need to upgrade the nvidia drivers on 2008.1. Suggestions? I'm not sure it can handle anything more than the 180.x.x drivers, but I'm not sure on that. It just seems like it wouldn't.

Actually, I should try the 180.x series and the 195.x series. If I hose it, I hose it. lol.

Just stick to the 180. drivers if they work they are Ok. Thats what I would do. Unless I was bored of course. There is always a lot of excitement in changing those drivers.
