Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Hello,

I have a 5770 from AMD hooked up to two 24" 1920x1200 LCD monitors.

Every time I run a game, be it new or old, my fanspeed lies between 40-60% of it's maximum speed. Within these levels the noise is bearable. But every god damn time i launch EVE Online the fan speed immediately flies up to 90-100%. It's practically unbearable and makes the game unplayable for me.

Is there any solution to this problem besides setting a manual fanspeed? I've always been able to play EVE with dual-monitor setup without the fanspeed of my graphics card going crazy. It's one of the more recent expansions that's been doing this to my setup.

Any help?

I'm using a couple HD 6700s in CrossFire mode. The first thing I did was to enable AMD Overdrive -not for the sake of over-clocking but for the sake of running the fans at max RPM. I'm only running one 1920x1200 display.

If you're not into liquid cooling, noise is something normal that accompanies placing such high demands on a computer.

Edit...
I prefer to run graphics cards as cool as possible rather than having them fail early due to heat. I've experienced big disappointments with over-heated and damaged GPUs (i.e. ball grid array solder failures) from both AMD and NVIDIA -as well as memory over-heating on one card. These were not cards that had been over-clocked by me.
There's such a pressure for companies to have the best performing cards that the factory clock rates always seem to be too high. It might be a good idea to get a factory over-clocked card and then reduce the clock rate to normal.
