    Just wondering, has anyone had luck finding a way to control the fans for the 6970m yet? SapphireTRIXX doesn't let me do anything with the fans, sadly.

    My fan goes into full blast if I hit 73C, and I would like to maybe make that threshold 76C or so, give myself a little more leeway before the blasting starts! I've heard about a bios mod - will this allow me such liberties?
