AMD's Radeon Software Crimson Edition has reportedly been locking the fan speeds of many a card, ranging from the HD 7000 series to the 3XX cards, at 20%.

Best use of that video to date, the subtitles even match at some points!

Not too long ago NVIDIA straight up turned fans off in their drivers and killed may more cards than this, so it's not like they're any better.

Yup, which is why I'm always monitoring my fan speeds and temperatures in my rig. It's the quickest way to protect your investment

Lol, fuck. Rolling back now. This probably explains why my PC has been so noisy the last few days.
