RPM = Revolutions Per Minute.

Lowering RPM is slowing the fan down.  The total opposite of what you want to do.

It's already built into cgminer with the auto fan and auto gpu options, but only for AMD cards.

cgminer --auto-fan

Works nicely for all my 79XX GPU's except Powercolor 7990 which has a screwed up fan setup anyways.

Perhaps I'm saying this wrong or perhaps I'm misunderstanding how these things work.

What I'm trying to say is, is there some program that when the GPU's are working to hard or the air conditioning is off for some reason then it will tell cgminer to make itself stop making the cards work as hard so that the cards can cool down and don't burn out.

Are you insane? Your cards would die that way. Why would you want that?

Does anyone know of or have suggestions on how to write a script which would turn down the RPM on individual GPU's when their temperature gets too high? Needs to work with cgminer.
