    Crossfire Fan Problems?

    When i enable Overdrive in the CCC, i can control the fan of one video card, but the second video card's fan spins at a constant 50~% judging by noise, is there a way for me to control both fans or should i just ditch CCC altogether.

    Note: I'm using 2 sapphire 4870 512 mb, reference boards with stock full cover plate and fan paired with liquid cooling for the die.

    I used to have HD4870 in CrossFire and there was a guide that show how to manually adjust the fan speed for both GPUs. I thought the latest Cat should fix it but anyway, you might wanna give it a try:

    1. Turn ON Overdrive in the CCC and leave the clocks speeds at default.
    2. Make a profile in the CCC (this will be your fan speed profile, you can have more than one)
    3. Find and EDIT (via rightclick) the "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\PROFILENA ME.XML" File

    Find:
    <Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
    <Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Automatic" />
    </Feature>
    <Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_0">
    <Property name="Want" value="0" />
    </Feature>
    <Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
    <Property name="Want" value="XX" />

    4. Change:
    Automatic to Manual
    The FanSpeedPercentTarget value (shown as XX) to the percentage you wish to use.

    "FanSpeedAlgorithm_0"....... is the 1st video card.
    "FanSpeedAlgorithm_1"....... is the 2nd video card.

    EXAMPLE:
    <Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
    <Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Manual" />
    </Feature>
    <Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_0">
    <Property name="Want" value="0" />
    </Feature>
    <Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
    <Property name="Want" value="65" />

    and then scroll down and the _1:
    <Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_1">
    <Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Manual" />
    </Feature>
    <Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_1">
    <Property name="Want" value="0" />
    </Feature>
    <Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_1">
    <Property name="Want" value="65" />

    5. Save the XML file.
    6. Activate your profile(s) in CCC.
