Fan Control Program

MaxxSauce · 01-29-2009, 05:08 PM

Can someone point me to a program that will recognize my HD Radeon 4870 and let me up the fan speed? And it would be really cool if it could adjust my CPU fan too but I'm not sure if there is such a program.

I tried using ATi Tray Tools but it wouldn't detect my HD 4870 for some reason. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks I actually just didnt see the options for overclocking/fan tuning in ATi CCC lol (silly me) so that worked out fine.

I have a question about overclocking though. Are there certain frequencies that I should avoid running the card on, like stick to multiples of 25 rather that just seeing if it will run at say... 793 mhz?

Usually I bump it up 10% at a time to ensure stabilty when it becomes unstable back it down 2 steps.

I usually stick to even numbered frequencies. thats just me though.
