Hey guys
Two or three days after getting my new machine the graphics card (ATI Radeon HD4670) fan started to run at high speed all the time?
Should the fan be running constantly at that speed?
Ok for no apparent reason this ATI Radeon HD4670 graphics card fan has been running between 1043 & 1045 RPM all day! it hasn't come close to 5375 RPM's (see my 1st post)
Today's room temperature has been no different to any other day, and I've been trying to get the card's fan to speed up by running Quake4 on maxed out settings!
The card's temp almost reached 60c and the fan never went over 1045 RPM!
I'm not sure if I have a problem or not?
craigathus,
I have a 3870 that I bought in Nov 07... I can assure you that ATI and their subvendors still do not have things together. Sometimes when I restart my computer, my fan speed is 0% and other times it's in the 20% range. I always use Rivatuner no matter what to set it to 56% and that keeps it cool without putting too much stress on the fan. As you can see in your GPU-Z screenshot, your fan % is 0 while your RPM is 5000+. I wonder if that's a bug... I would give Rivatuner a shot.
