Hello all,
If you guys remember, I built a PC last year. The graphics card I'm using is a Sapphire HD7850. Ive run into a problem when I'm playing mass effect that the GPU is overheating and the fans are not increasing their speed. I've tried multiple programs like MSI Afterburner and AMD's CCC, but nothing I've yet found allows me to change the fan speed.
Every thing I find points to using the Catalyst Control Center, but the version I have contains absolutely no performance options. I've tried updating, backdating, reinstalling, uninstalling, and every other method of getting the driver to work correctly, but it simply will not work.
I found a sapphire specific monitoring/overclocking app called Sapphire TriXX, but when I run that program, it says the GPU is at 0 degrees and fans are at 1%, both of which are impossible. It even has a fan slider but enabling manual control has no effect. I'm absolutely frustrated because the fans remain at idle while the GPU heats up near and over 100 degrees C causing display failure. I don't know what to do, I've spent around 6 hours trying to search and diagnose the problem to no avail. Anyone care to help? My laptop has a CCC version that lets me adjust a ton of things related to the GPU, but I cannot adjust anything on the version I have for my desktop.
