So I purchased the Sapphire x850 XT PE.
Got it and did a fresh xp build and installed the Cat 5.6s..
anyway first few days the card runs great (didnt play too much on it)...
after this i really start to push the card, while playing Swat 4 for 45min or so, the card cuts out on me and i get weird graphics covering the screen, i then notice that my case temparture was alot higher then when i had my 6800gt in it..
Happened again to me while playing BF2... so i assume its the temp of the card..
Come to find that my fan was not adjusting to the load, it would stay at like 13 percent .. and overheating and dieing...
anyway, so i install ATi tray tools and controlt he fan this way, but my question, how is the fan supposed to be controlled without a 3rd party tool? Are the cat 5.6s supposed to do this? do i have a defective fan control?
reason i ask is i dont mind the Ati tray tools but they are 3rd party and have a caused a little instabilty....
