Hi guys,
I recently acquired a Gigabyte HD 5870 GPU. Everything runs fine (except Chimera is ugly as it doens't support 1080p as a VESA resolution), I get tons of FPS in StarCraft 2, but the fans are always full on, making quite a lot of noise. The upside is that the temperature never reached above 40 degrees C, but I was hoping that there's a way to turn them down.
I presume the kexts are all working fine, System Profiler recognises the card as a Radeon HD 5800 series, and QE/CI is working as well. FakeSMC even reads the temperature from the card, so why isn't fan speed control working?
Could it be that disabling OemSMBIOS.kext to get the 10.8.2 update to work could've caused this? If so, is there an updated version of FakeSMC that supports 10.8.2?
