Hi there,
I was wondering if any of you could help me with my two problems.
My first one: When I go on the manual fan control, and I set it to whatever number and click apply, nothing happens to the fan and the monitor tells me the fan percentage hasn't gone up at all. How do I make it actually work?
Second: My temperature constantly seems to be at 77-80 while idle. What could be the reasons?
Many thanks in advance.
(My card is a HD4870 1 gig)
Make sure you're using the latest drivers (9.4). Then make sure you tick the box to enable manual fan control and then click apply at the bottom. Also which dial are you looking at for fan speed?
Finally 77-80 while idle is quite normal. Mines at 77 as I type this.
Hi Kalniel,
I do indeed have the latest CCC installed, and I have the box unchecked. I just tried to put it to 100%, the fan made no noise whatsoever. As for what dial I am looking at, I am looking the one of the very bottom.
How can I fix fan problem?
There is a tick box above this. You need to tick it. Enable ATI Overdrive.
are you clicking APPLY after your change? Bottom grey button
83 at idle is like YEAHH
Perhaps you're using one of those with non-stock cooler? If that is the case you're unlikely to be able to control the fan speed.
Idle of 80'C is pretty normal for HD4870. Nothing to worry about.
