PSA: AVOID THIS UPDATE FOR NOW!!

The NVIDIA feedback forum thread is quickly filling up with reports that this v595.59 update results in only 1 GPU fan being detected on multiple card models - and some fans NOT SPINNING … not good if true.

Apparently it also locks voltage, so VF curves aren’t being applied.

I suspect a hotfix coming, or they might even pull the update?
