Couldn't understand why i was getting triangles in c&c 3 demo , then i was playing and the system froze and them monitor shut off. Checked my ati tray tools and my fan was running at 800rpm even though i'd loaded my profile overclocked settings with my fan at 100%!. So i had to reload my overclocked settings again, what is going on with the 7.0+ drivers that dont affect me 6.12 below. p.s posted it here to let people know it didnt happen with 6.12 and ati tray tools
Yepp, same problem here with fan control. Tried 7.2 for a day then back to old trusty 6.12 again. To make sorty short, every time I try 7.x drivers fan control gets very unpredictable, especially when switching between 2D and 3D profile which I do manually (using hotkeys). In 6.12 and earlier no problems and with 7.x huge problems and I have to go back to 6.12 every time.
Ray Adams how about a sound warning if the fan drops below a certain level when using overclock mode? A clickable option
Its better to find why it happened, than make any sound options. At this moment I have a problems under Vista with 7.2. Sometimes when I load Over profile my FAN Table doesn't applied correctly and this happened only under Vista. I have no problems with WinXP
Well, good for you that you don´t have any problems with WinXP, many others do. Might be because we have X1900XTX and you don´t. I have tried 2 versions (official and custom) of Cat. 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 with the same bad results and no problems at all with Cat. 6.12. I guess when I buy a new computer that can hold one of those Nvidia 8800 cards all my problems will go away ;-) but until then I guess I will be running Cat. 6.12.
I have X1800XT and I don't think there are a lot of difference in FAN control between these two boards.
