im using a 6870 and i use CCC and manually control my fan speed with CCC in overdrive is that normal? If i dont power up my fan it basically never comes on during gaming. i leave fan at 30 and jump to 65 during "most" games its a process i've done with my pc since i bought it from ibuypower last year. I just thought the card was supposed to ajust to increase in temps with fan accordingly. I've actually just got so used to it now that it became a norm. I'm only 1 yr into pc's so im new and learned what i know now on my own. Dont know anybody until i found this great site so i thought i would ask.
