how come my 260 fan doesn't speed up?

edit: turns out my SSC card was bad (ie, could not reach 1458 shader even with 100% fan.)

What all programs do you have installed to control it?

Make sure all are set to auto

Is this a new card, or did it work previously?

Could be the drivers.

Vanilla Vista SP1 install, vanilla nVidia drivers from their website. I did download evga precision and riva tuner to confirm auto mode. It's pegged at 40% for low, medium and high.
