When gaming I noticed a very loud bzz sound coming from the graphics card depending on the FPS in the game (higher fps = louder bzz).
I opened up ATI Catalyst and noticed my temperatures were at 75-80C on load and 50C on idle...
I also noticed that for some reason it was underclocked? the memory speed was at 594 instead of 900 and the GPU was at 500 instead of 621.
I tried running the 'automated clock configuration utility' but that just increased my temperatures to 87C on IDLE!!!
Heres a screenshot of the catalyst overdrive screen on idle:
I've been reading around and apparently the overheating is normal for a stock heatsink, so I've ordered a Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer Accelero X2.
My question is, why are the speeds underclocked? they are clearly set to much higher but they refuse to go that high...
