strange, cause the fan has to operate under 100%. Normally 80% should be the maximum and not 100%.

On your cards, at what temperature the fan reaches 100% speed?

On my cards around 80°C. Is normal?

For some reason, I don't get this problem. About the best stress test i can think of is Crysis. I have been playing for an hour (give or take). GPU fan goes back to 40% after I finish. I'm using the 177.39 drivers. I must be one of the lucky ones. Vista 64bit also.

but immediately after the closure of crysis your fan speed is 100%?

I configured Rivatuner to set the fan @ 100% on 80°C
But on Auto(or without Rivatuner), the Fan is @ 65% at 80°C

I checked better, to me is the same.

80°C = 65% fan speed
