New GeForce 595.71 Driver Release

Nvidia has released a new GeForce driver (version 595.71) to replace the recently recalled 595.59 version. The updated driver resolves the serious fan‑control bugs that were reported in the 595.59 release, which affected RTX 30‑series, RTX 40‑series, and RTX 50‑series GPUs.

The problem was first identified by users who noticed that the driver was not detecting GPU fans correctly. In some cases, one or more fans stopped spinning entirely, leading to potential overheating. Reports of the issue appeared across several forums, including the official Nvidia forum.
