Recently I had a serious problem with the fan control options of the 0.24 version: I have selected the dynamic control of the speed (but I left all percentages as default), and then, while playing (Lock-On), I have noticed a sudden fall in framerate. ATITool was reporting a core temperature of 115 celsius!!! :twitch: (And sure it was right, I almost burnt my fingers touching the heat-spreader :cry: ) In the fan control options the reported speed was 100%, but actually the fan was still, and I had to reboot the system to make it work. I have almost burnt my card, is this a bug of the program or am I just stupid?

Default clock: GPU 507, memory 520 MHz. When this problem occured the card was overclocked to 530/530.

I'm italian, sorry for my grammar...
