Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I have a weird issue with the mentioned card. The fan does not seem to spin at low RPM (and I mean at all). It then automatically turns it on full blast if and when it hits about 84C (I imagine it's a safety trigger), but off again as soon as it cools down a bit.
Also, manually setting speed does nothing unless I set it to at least 80% (and even then, lowering to less than 70% makes it stop).
The card is new (less than 3 months since installation) and I've had this issue with the 2 latest versions of ATI drivers and the latest beta version in Windows 7, 8 and Linux Fedora 20 (KDE).
I honestly do not know if it did this from the beginning or not.
And yes, auto-fan-speed with things like trixx and afterburn do the exact same thing.
I really want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if I need to send the card in..

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1866

PS: On the upside.. with the fan turned off it idles at about 55C, which is nice cooling i guess..
PPS: I only realised I posted this in the Systems forum, I apologize
