Hey all,

I recently set up 2 Sapphire 3870's in crossfire. As you may know, they are set to run their fans at 30% or something like that. I can set them up using rivatuner, however whenever you restart, the second card will revert to 30%. I can readjust this by entering rivatuner, and changing it to auto, pressing apply, and then shanging it to fixed and hitting apply again. This is a pain. Does anyone know of a more advanced way I can stick both fans at say 60-70%?

As well. Has anyone flashed their cards to the new bios? If so, where can I get the new bios and instructions on how to do this. I hear you might be able to permantly set the minimum fan speed through the bios?

I am using Vista 64.

Thanks in advance!

It says that it isnt for the 3870, only up to HD2900.

Im also having the same problem, i was playing Crysis and it locked up and the graphics card cut out, when i rebooted the GPU temp was at around 60, so i got RivaTuner, put the fan settings up to 100% all the time, on every different card it found in the drop down box (it found 4, but changing the 2nd also did the 3rd and 4th) and then made it apply the settings at windows startup. However ive not noticed much of a drop at all in the temps.
