Well after coming home from work I noticed my PC was considerably louder than usual. In fact it was emitting what I had only read about, the noise that an x1800xt makes when the fan is at 100%.
Now my card is slightly OC'd from 600/700 to 660/750 but the strange thing was, after checking the temps in the ATI tool log file they never went above 70C. Why on earth would the fan go to 100%?
Could the ambient temp of the general PC make the fan kick in? I thought it was only when the gpu core temp got too high, in this case 90C+.
Weird.
