AMD Radeon Software Crimson 15.11.1 Hotfix




You can now download the new AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition drivers hotfix release 15.11.1.
AMD released Radeon Software Crimson Edition 15.11.1 Update. This update fixes last weeks release to build 15.11.1 and fixes an important issue with VGA fan speed control that overheated GPUs in certain ROPM conditions. In addition, the driver addresses several game-specific bugs related to Just Cause 3, Fallout 4, Star Wars: Battlefront, and Call of Duty Black Ops III.
The new driver itself is called "AMD Radeon Software" and has been build from ground up in QT. It's fast in startup, has had a massive GUI change and introduces some new features including stuff from shader caching to DX9 frame pacing enhancements. AMD is committed to release up-to 6 major WHQL driver released per year with interim Beta and Hotfix releases as well.

No problems here with the WHQL driver. Fan speeds work perfectly and the temp never exceeds 62C under load and idles at 30-32. There's no difference from the last CCC driver. I won't be using this hotfixed driver since the WHQL is fine.

I really love that I can be gaming for hours and my GPU fans do not even turn on ^^
Must say I'm Very Happy with my new Sapphire Fury Tri-X, keeps my games at a solid 60fps and runs so cool the fans almost never switch on and then only to 20 - 30% when they finally do. Even uses about 100 watts less in game than my 290X did too

Really is a win for people running their PC 24/7 and the way forward. So many of my GFx cards have had fans wear out and start vibrating making a crazy annoying loud noise >_<

I don't think it's at all implausible that this could damage cards. If the heatsink is heatsoaked then it can't take any more thermal energy so any extra heat is going to go into the PCB and surrounding components because that's the only place for it to go. This is going to happen much more slowly in a situation where the fans are only partially cooling the heatsink, putting extra thermal load on the PCB.
I find it pretty ridiculous that there are some guys calling other people out as liars; if you're one of those people then all it does is make you look like a total fanboy idiot and apologist tbh
