Naw, you'll see in my screenshots that it's over 1000 degrees, it only shows 127 cause the counter is maxed out.

I took it out, blew it out and re-seated it and now it works again. /facepalm

Ya. All of a sudden while idling on the desktop.

I wish. It doesn't obey any fan controls, in any program, it always runs at 100%. :(

Yeah, that's next on my list - I'll probably run to fry's and grab some new paste.

Naw, it's years old.

Well... as magically as it fixed itself, it suddenly unfixed itself. The fan suddenly shot up while on the windows desktop and has been full blast ever since. So should I bake it for real lol?

I'm guessing that the only reason they showed such different temperatures is that CCC only supports 4 digits for temp. Notice that the first "GPU Temp" in GPU-Z is negative, it must have flipped around because the software didn't support values that high.

I fixed it... I decided to run furmark for a while to "show" it what a real load was and what a real high temperature was. So after furmark the sensors magically fixed themselves and the temps became normal. Yay.

It's an Alienware i7-860 OC'd to 3.5ghz, it's been perfect until yesterday. The card is a 100% generic ATI 5870: Still working fine... but the noise is really annoying. I've tried five different versions of the driver, uninstalling and running driver sweeper in between. I even unplugged my...

Yeah. And of course the manual fan control does nothing.

Yeah, I've tried several different ones. I even went back all the way to 11.12, no luck.

I upgraded to 12.3 the other day and today after a long gaming session my fan became stuck on. I checked GPU-Z and my card thinks it is at over 1000 degrees! I've already power cycled and re-installed the drivers but the temp sensors are still stuck. Any ideas?
