Afterburner - Does it have to be open?

[UnworthyBean]

I've just set a custom fan curve for my 5850, But I was wondering does it need to be open for this to be applied? For example if I restart without it opening, Will it just revert back to stock fan speeds?

If thats the case, Is it 'safe' to flash the 5850's with Atiflash/RBE? Or is that a no go with these cards? Ive been out of the loop for a while.

I think it has to be open for the fan profile to work.

Someone's sure to come along and correct me if I'm wrong.

Has to be running or it will use the default fan profile.

Ah right cheers.

I set it to open at start-up but run from the system tray. I think it configures itself to do this by default if you say 'apply profile at start-up'. If not, there are a few checkboxes in the settings somewhere.

All above is correct.

yeah, this is what I do, works perfectly for me, with the added bonus of monitoring temps, load, framerate etc
