I have a MSI hd4850 and its running pretty hot. Its was about 72C then I put a 80mm fan into the side of my case and now its about 67C. I know that the default fan speed on the card is only about 20%, and I cant figure out how to speed it up. So I bought the fan which didnt help.

I downloaded Rivatuner but I dont know how to speed the fan up with it. Also I have tried to look through Catalyst Control Center and couldnt find fan speed setting. Im really confused, so someone help me please....
 
it just baffles me how nvidia constructs gpu's that won't last and ati does, and then they put a cooler on it that doesnt cool very well! v_v
 
Ive read that guide before, and tried to do it. But at the beginning when I click customize next to where it says the name of my card, the card icon doesnt come up. So I cant continue ..

Does rivatuner support ATI based cards? I was reading on guru3d where I downloaded it from and it only talks about NVIDIA. I should have just got a NVIDIA card

BTW I have Rivatuner v2.09.

The fan is fine (other than sound level), ATI just decided to keep the fan speed at a minimum. It is fixable.

You're right, sorry. I've done some research on the card, I'm planning to get one, I should have realized there wouldn't have been such a fuss over bios tweaks and fixes if Rivatuner could do it easily (Btw, Riva tuner is supposed to get 48xx support soon).

This is what you're looking for. FYI, the reference fan is supposed to be hella loud at higher speeds, but it's better than a constantly hot card.
