Hey, I just got a Radeon 3870!! :D Well, it overclocks nicely to 860 / 1211, but it gets kind of hot and the fan is running on a low speed. Is there a way to increase the fan speed in the Catalyst Control Center? (I've been using NVIDIA for the last 4 years)

BTW this is Windows Vista

Thanks!
 
Thanks. That works.

Man, this thing is a beast! With the fan on 50% and after the BIOS update, I can run stable at 885 / 2500... that's literally as far as the core slider will let me go. Anyway to unlock this further? [edit]durr... I'll use Rivatuner :eek:

Temps under full GPU load (as measured by Rivatuner) are 76C. With the fan on low, artifacting begins at 90C, so I seem to have some headroom left...
 
whats the make and model of your 3870 and where did you get it. thanks
 
Sapphire HD 3870 bought on www.NCIXUS.com

I flashed the BIOS to ATI reference revision 2 though, and that really helped the overclocking.
