Hey peeps.
My new XFX 7870 DD edition arrived today. Installed it and it works which is a good start.
Anyway, was in Black Ops 2 for around 5 minutes and got some stuttering, so I decided to check the temps.
CPU temp was normal, 55C ish. I then looked at GPU to see that it was 103C.
At idle the GPU is running at 68C, which I know isn't right, as some benchmarks i've seen didn't even hit that at load. My cooling setup is pretty standard, 1 fan on front taking in, one side fan,1 back fan, aftermarket CPU cooler.
Please help.
Thanks.

So, after a quick look I've realised that neither of the fans work, which explains a lot. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get them working again? Don't want to return if I don't have to.
