    Changing 4870 Fan Speed by default?

    Reply Contact

     I recently purchased a 4870 (VisionTek) and while I love the card it does get insanely hot when left with the stock cooler and default fan speed.
    I've been doing some reading and found out how to change the Fan Speed by tweaking the profiles in Catalyst:
    - Create a profile
    - Edit the profile to set it to manual with a specific fan speed value (want)
    - Load the profile

    But from what I am reading the custom profile needs to be loaded/selected on boot each time (manually). Is there a way to set a custom profile by default on startup?
    Also - is there an easier way to change profiles instead of going through catalyst control everytime (like something on my desktop I can double-click or something?)

    Any advice / help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Download rivatuner and set it to load fanspeeds at boot then just set the fan speed that you want.
