Hello just got me a HD 6870 card and just wondering if anyone else noticed with catalyst 10.12 that CCC does not save the manual fan control and the automatic does not seem to work. I have to set it to manual every time i boot up. This card also runs quite hot, if I want to have an idle temp in the low 40's i need to set my fan at least 40%. If i boot up and forget to set the fan manual the temp goes up to high 60's without any load. ( the auto fan should at least bump up the speed a little to avoid these temps on idle no? ) It is not my case I use the Antech 1200 with fans in every slot My mobo stays at a cool 28 degrees CPU 34 degrees. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the reply. My card is a XFX HD 6870 1gb, It's ok to use the MSI application even though it's not a MSI board?
Yes, I have a Gigabyte HD6870 and Asus HD6870 and Afterburner works works great. If I didn't use afterburner for fan control my temps would skyrocket to +80C. Once installed under settings click the fan tab, and click "enable user defined software automatic fan control" and then select on the graph where you want your fan speed to be at depending on the current temp. Hope this helps!
Afterburner will show your video card temp, there is a graph that shows temp, fan speed, rpm's, gpu usage. Here's the link http://downloads.guru3d.com/Afterburner-2.1.0-Beta-6-download-2604.html
Hmmmz. Sure I really need to do this?c1: It sure is the hotest (to the touch) gfx card iv eva owned.:infinity:
I have a XFX 6870 and I use MSI Afterburner for it, set a manual fan control based on card temp. I can monitor fan speed, Gpu usage, temps, clock speeds. its Ok to use it with your card (its not JUST for MSI cards) and it works wonderfully.
