6950 modded temps...manual or auto fan control?

ale86cuba · Dec 31, 2010, 10:35 PM

i got this 6950 yesterday and modded it to sapphire 6970 bios....the card is now idling at 43C with 24% fan speed....while running furmark yesterday for 20mins temp reached as high as 90C with the auto fan speed around 47%....
is this normal or should i have a manual setting for the fan?? if so: how much for regular pc usage and for gaming(ill be playing crysis warhead, cod black ops, battlefield bc2, medal of honor, flight simulator x) any input will be appreciated.

regular fan is fine when gaming furmark is above and beyond what any game will load the gpu to.

that said if in a multi gpu setup fan profiles would need to be made with something like afterburner to better handle temps

Is it possible to adjust modded 6950 multi gpu fan profiles in bios ?
I tried with newest RBE but it doesn't work well.

Only difference was a lowered tmax the other settings didn't change.
Above tmax the fans runs at 100% and cooled cards under tmax fans slowed down and so on...

I think i tomorrow have to try afterburner.
