I've been messing around with the idea of adding a second monitor recently. I grabbed an old CRT of mine and added it as a second display, and I noticed video card fan was really high. I checked the temperature and saw it at 73 degrees at idle! It is normally around 40 degrees at idle.

I did a little research and found that when you add a second display it keeps your card in 3D mode with a second display. I couldn't find anything about a fix. A lot of the things I read were a couple years old, so I was wondering if there was ever a fix for this to keep it at 2D clock speeds...
