semi-passive graphic card #651

hi,

first of all, I'd to thank you for OHM, fantastic software, since I discovered 
it, it replaced ASUS AI Suite on my system. :-)

my graphic card is an ASUS GTX 970 STRIX, which fans start to spin only when 
temp hits 67 °C. when my computer starts, most of the time GPU is not as hot 
so OHM doesn't "see" fan speed values (quite normal, fans are at 0 rpm). but 
when they spin, if OHM was launched before, fan speed is still inexistant. I 
have to manually reset OHM to make it read fan control and speed values.

I managed to change this behavior by tweaking a bit NvidiaGPU.cs line 60 :

if (value > 0) {

to :

if (value >= 0) {

simple, but it works !

fans, even if they not spin, are read at startup and when actually spin, value 
is updated.

my question, is it a good way to do it ?

The only problem I see with this fix is that it might show fan rpm (at zero) on 
complete passive systems (if the functions still reports OK as result there). 
But this is still the better compromise.
