I have been having trouble with crashing out of World of Warcraft, where as I think it is probably a driver issue I just wanted to discount all other possibilities.

I have cleaned the system with compressed air (obviously concerned that it may be an overheating issue) and when checking the Catalyst control centre I noticed the fan speed was set to 30%. Is this high enough or should I manually adjust it and see what the results are.

Thanks in advance
 
Or alternatley download the techpowerup GPUZ monitor.

Click on the sensors tab when you have it up and running, start your game, wait till it crashes see what the temp was at.
Saves any conflicts with overclocking utilities as you would be using msi afterburner as well as CCC.
 
44% seems to be the best speed before it becomes too loud,atleast on my twin frozr3

setting the power control slider to 20% might help with the crashing also
 
Thanks for the replies so far!
Have downloaded the GPUZ monitor and made the adjustments recommended by Wazza. . . lets see how it goes =)
 
So far temp hasn't gone above 46% which is pretty normal, so either the little tweaks have worked or I need to test it a little more ^^
