About HD 6950 temp and fan speed
Hello to you all.
This is my first post here and I'd like to ask about my Sapphire 6950.It is a reference model and I unlocked the shaders without flashing to an 6970 BIOS and it is also slightly OCed.Yesterday I played GTA IV for the first time in windows 8 and after some time the pc suddenly shut down completely.My mind went straight to GPU overheating.After this happened a couple of times I decided to grab MSI afterburner and make some tests.I found out the GPU was hitting a big 82 degrees (max is 95 for the HD 6950) at 99% load but the fan speed reported at max 35-37% only!Is this normal?I have the default auto fan speed from Vision Engine Control Center but since the GPU was striving (and failing in the end) I'd expect a much higher fan speed.What do you suggest I do?
Thank you in advance!
