In ATI tool when you click settings (I believe its settings) and you go down to fan control, there is a couple of options.
Option 1 i think is to set a constant speed for the fan.
Option 2 is to set it to defaults
Option 3 is to set a speed at a different temp. I belive to get your defults back you would use option 2. If it is the case that it has a radio button at the top saying "Enable Fan speed control" Or something then uncheck it and it should grey out.

Take the time to type out your problem dude. I have no idea what that last post was about.

Just set it to the speeds at whatever temps you want. What's all the huss about getting it back to stock speeds?

Then adjust your fan settings so that it doesn't. Defaults aren't always the best. Did you fix it?

Very true. My X850XT-PE, by default, permanently runs at 5% speed. Playing games like this made it overheat like mad. And I wasn't even overclocking.Cheator said:
The stock cooler even began to melt it was so hot LOL.

Actually I had a similar problem with my x850. My card would get up to like 75 C on load before ik installed ATI tool. Once i did, it was much cooler... and ALOT louder

Does it have a button that says something like "auto-fill"? I use the traytool, and there is an option that will automatically change the temperature at which the fan speed will be a certain speed. Like if originally it is supposed to be at 100% at 80C, it will change it to 100% at 50C because the average temperature on the card is much lower than the defaults. However, I always set the speed to 100%, so I know it's doing what it should be. You could always reinstall ati tool.

Yes this was before ATITool was installed.Quailane said:
Oh and that fan is LOUD. Anything more than 30% speed drives me nuts haha.

So...you want it to get over 80 C before the fan goes to 100 percent? I would set those lower.
I would set those lower.

I'd set it to 100% all the time. It's a bit on the loud side if that sort of thing anoys you.
If you want the fan speed to change with the temp i'd suggest you do something like
60% for when you are in windows ie 40c-50c then 60c should be straight to 100%.
above 0* = 60%
above 55* = 100%
That I feel is the safest and best sound wise. You'd probably be ok lowering the 60% to 40% but then you might go over 55c and have the fan doing 100% every so often when you are just in windows etc.
