forgive my MSpaint job but the fan is only on where the red lines are
-
after 89% it scales like you would expect ie 3600 rpm at 89%, 3800 at 94%, 4200 at 100%
-
I tried it at various %'s and found that the fan runs on 0rpm until 89%. I think it's blower but I'm not sure what that is lol
-
That doesn't really make sense though, why have a slider or fan power curve at all then.
-
You know what, I think I just figured out my problem, I was thinking that the fan could run at any speed between its max and zero but its not like that is it? Like it's either full power or off
-
is there a way to get it to not do that?

My rig currently runs a 3 year old radeon hd 7850 ghost and recently I tried my hand at overclocking so I downloaded MSI afterburner and have had success with it but in watching the temperature on my card, I've noticed that the fan doesn't kick on until my manually set fan curve hits about 85%. I thought this might be a feature of the card where it keeps it off until the card really needs it to reduce on sound but I haven't found anything like that online for my card. I don't need my card to be as quiet as it is, I'd rather it have a long and prosperous life. The card idles right now at around 70 degrees which is too hot for my liking and can hit up to the mid 80s under load which really surprised me because my case is pretty open and has good air flow. One of the first things I tried was to reapply the thermal paste which seemed to help the temperature a bit but didn't solve the fan problem. But that also means I would prefer to fix it myself since I voided the warranty by unscrewing those cooler screws (which I probably shouldn't have done but here we are). I also recently cleaned out the dust in my rig so I don't think its dust related unless it's in the fan's ball bearings. Does anyone have any ideas on whats going on / how to fix the problem? Thanks!

Okay thanks, I'll give that a go. The "How to" videos made it seem to me as a bit more confusing.

So I recently purchased a Samsung V-NAND SSD 850 EVO and want to add it to my rig. It is much smaller than my current hard drive and thus can't hold all of the data from my hd if I were to clone it. I don't have access to an external hard drive to store my extra data either. Is there a way that I can install the new SSD, make it the boot drive as well as have a small amount of apps stored on it for quick use and then use my old hd as a storage drive without having to delete half of my data. I do have a flash drive with the correct version of windows 7 on it if that helps me any. Thanks!
