^I don't know what to say. I posted the news about the Crimson Drivers and then I also posted some articles about them and the changes and improvements it brings. And then I even posted that with those new drivers, all the non GCN cards were moved into legacy status.

But I guess you just don't read my news .

Sorry D:

I skim through but never usually pay attention to driver news - I should change that after this experience. Loving the interface and I'm surprised that AMD partnered up with Raptr (which I have been using last few years). I was wondering why my PC game data was not being updated but after installing the new drivers and noticing Raptr showing up in my processes list in task manager I was like what :O.

 

Pay attention Basil! There's a bug in the last Crimson drivers that affects the fan, making it to not go higher than 20%.

AMD will launch a hotfix today, but it's worth keeping that in mind if you have a 7xxx or newer card and/or have messed with the fan profiles.

It's a bug, we're planning to fix this and some of the other commonly mentioned issues in Crimson in a soon to be released driver.

You can fix this particular issue by performing a fresh reinstallation of the drivers, but this time do not touch the fan speed setting in Global Overdrive within Crimson. This should leave the default setting and not cause this issue to occur.
