Hope I am doing it wrong as I am worried now with temps running so high even with the fix being applied.
Here's a screenshot of my GPU-Z result:
For some reason I feel I haven't installed the drivers properly.I had downloaded 2 set of the Catalyst 8.7 from their website.One was named 8-7_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_65993.exe (34.7MB) & the second one was 8-7_xp32_dd_65993.exe (14.9MB).I installed the 14.9MB one first & then added the 34.7MB based CCC one.Did I do it the wrong way? If yes then what do I do?
How do I recheck if I did the fan fix properly? :S
EDIT: FIXED IT.I can't believe I was editing the wrong line all along.I was setting the fanrpmspeed to 50.DAM! Sorry for the trouble guys.I have set it to 75% now & yes the noise is very much audible.Anyway good it did the job.Thanks for all your help.

Yeah kinda figured that out later on.But I guess it's all good now.With the temps stabilised all I have to do now is more benchmarking.:hap2:
I used to think Riva Tuner was for Nvidia cards only.
Anyway ATI's CC gets the job done pretty nicely.I'll try HWMonitor though.Seems to be very popular.

read the tweak on some forum n its realy helpful for keeping the card cool.
hd4850(sapphire..amd referrence card) used to idle at 70-75c
now its idling at 32c @50%fan speed, 35c @42%
at load, its 53c @50% n 59c @42%
had to use fan @65% to bring it to 33c idling n 56c load when room temp used to be ~32c
room temp ~28c.
cant notice fan noise at 42% (~3750rpm)
at 50%(~4775rpm)..its barely noticable over el cheapo case fan n amd stock cooler.
65%(~6375rpm) realy sounds like a hair drier

^^ that are nice temps. wish i got similar. my 4850 idles at ~45 C and loads at ~58C at 65% fan speed. Well it is noisy, but most of the time i use head phone so it doesnt matter and anyways cm690 with 6 X 120 mm fans is noisy.
