Ok, so i'm sure before when my card was under strain it would speed the fan up, doesn't seem to do it now, been doing some benchmarking and gaming but seems like the fan is staying at 40%.

Checked the CCC and its not set to manual.

Any ideas? I updated to 10.6 last week and since then I seem to recall it not speeding up no more so I have reverted back to a earlier driver and CCC.

Any ideas? I know I can just go and set the fan to manual speed but i'd rather it just speed up as and when it needs it.

Temps have been as high as 90 degrees C and still it wont go faster.

Thank you,
Gary :confused:
 
10.4

Perhaps I am confusing myself, just I remember playing a game and the fan would make a horrible high pitched whine after some time...

Yet now that high pitched whine does not come unless I set the fan to above 80% on manual, I was thinking that a 90 degrees C it should be turning the fan speed up...

Perhaps its just a case of me not knowing what temperatures are needed to trigger the fan speed increments if you get me?
 
Sapphire.

Odd design, not the one that Ocuk are stocking.

What is the safe operating temperature of the card?
 
Well its lit up now.

That seems to work, I have set the program to load when windows loads.

Went into a couple of games and the fan comes on and goes off like it should, dunno why it stopped doing it through the ATi CCC.

I couldn't overclock the card very far because it would not cool it, fan was just staying on 40% even at 930/1300
 
I know....

Least this brings the fan in now when it needs it, been playing MW2 for a hour and card been reading 92 C and the fan only at 40%

Had a little play there and could hear the fan kicking in at 70 degrees C.
 
This MSi program looks good, just don't understand gets what's happened to the CCC.

Anyway thanks for the fix, don't think I will be able to get the speeds you are getting on your Sapphire, I take it you have a different revision?

I am perfectly happy with the card just been bugging me to see the temps above 90 degrees and not understanding why CCC as not activated the automatic fan speed.

This is the one I have.
 
haha - same as me.

Strange then how we have seem cards and chassis yet yours is cooler and appears to clock better then mine.
 
Ive had the side of the case of today just listening to fan and making sure its been working ok and it was fine so happy with that.

I wont get bogged down in the graphics card overclocking because it will be something that plays on my mind (why cant I achieve what others have) but I do feel my ambient temperature is a factor.

Pretty sure I could get the Q6600 to 4Ghz but its just gets a little warm for my liking.
 
No i'm using the H50.

The Q6600 is a hot chip ;) bare in mind the default clock speed is 2.4Ghz and i'm running it at 3.85Ghz

My last AMD Chip a Phenom II @ 3.5Ghz was indeed a lot cooler and ran under 50 degrees C at full load.
 
Thanks very much - will find some time over the weekend and attempt to get some better speeds from the 5770.

Do you use fans on the side of the case?
