I want to crank the fan up on my 3870x2, so I downloaded ATI TOOL. I couldnt find anywhere where you can crank the fans. Anyone have any suggestions?

I would totally love to use Rivatuner, but it is not compatible at this moment with the new ATI drivers or the 3870x2. Any programs besides ATI tool.

There is ALWAYS a drone.  Exactly where, or how many drones you will encounter may vary, but that there will be at least one will not.

Rivatuner will work for the 3870x2, and I know because I'm using Rivatuner with mine.  You do have to modify the config file a little bit.  It's real easy to do.

I used ATI Tray Tools on my last car, x1900xtx. I liked it much better than ATI Tools.  Not sure if it has support for the 3870 though.

If you have 3870/3850, the best tool will be Rivatuner 2.07.

I just installed Rivatuner 2.07 last night, my hope being it will allow me to control the fan on my Diamond 3870.  Well, so far I can't use it to control the fan on my Asus EAH3850; I can define launch items and do it manually, but the [+] to add threshholds to the monitor (e.g. for Core Temp) is missing.  The fan runs at 100% all the time.  It's a VERY quiet fan, so I don't plan to go back to Rivatuner 2.06 which worked, but this option would not work for the 3870, which has a very loud fan.
Can a Zalman vf-700 be used on a 3870?

I really wish ATI would include this sort of control in the CCC.  I too would like to up my fan speed.  If Riva and ATI tools can do it, I think ATI should be able to figure out a way.

If you are brave enough (and can afford the potential risks), forget about these software alltogether and set your fan speed through bios:

(Don't have to overclock gpu/mem if you don't want. Just set the fan and flash your card)
 
I have done it with my hd3850 (256) and the fan is working great without the need of rivatuner or any other thing...
