Fan speed control

Has anyone else noticed that the GPU fan speed control is not functioning with Vista 64 and the Radeon 3870x2? I am running Riva tuner to make the fan operate manually but I once had the option with Vista 64 and not flashing the card either.

Re: Fan speed control

Tried using the fan control option in the Catalyst Control Center?

Re: Fan speed control

I would if it was there. I have read there is some sort of a problem with that function when running the 3870x2 card. The card is supposed to be flashed so that it can work but I do not wish risking harming the card by flashing so I use rivaturner.

Re: Fan speed control

Yeah, I did some research and see the 3870x2 doesn't have the fan control option. Don't know what else to say; I've never used Riva Tuner so I have no suggestions there either. I don't even use the CCC's fan control with my 4850, which incidentally, replaced my 3870.

No other suggestions here.

Good luck.

Riva Tuner is a lighweight app , ive been using it for years for custom fan profiles , stick with it mate , its less hassle

You need to have an ATI 4800 series card to have the fan control option under Catalyst Control Center. I have a VisionTek 4850 and it has the fan control option under the Catalyst Control Center (9.2); has been there since the 8.10.

Also, in order to access the fan control option, you'll need to "Unlock" Auto Tune.
