I'm running 2 x1900xtx cards in crossfire. The fans never speed up when they get hot. So I installed atitools .25 . The master card spins up as is heats up, but the slave card doesn't. Any ideas how to get them both to spin at at the same time, or with temp increases? They get hot when I ramp up the Clock and memory speed in ati's catalyst control.

Any Ideas?

2 fans

Yes both are spinning. I can see it spin with the case off and feel air blowing out the back.
3dmark 2005 score with cards ramped up almost full was 13,380. I'll have two run it with crossfire off to answer your question.

i guess you have to change the card in atitool to get the slave card fan a bit higher


under atitool-->overclocking---> change the card here
