    The guys, what vbios is necessary to me for 7970m, I want that fans worked automatically.
    I certainly operate now fans with HWINFO64, but I don't know why, but all games brake with use of this program. When I close HWINFO64, then everything well and smoothly, but temperature grows!
    Somebody can send me the copy of vbios for whom fans work automatically? Thanks

    Don't think there is a vbios that decently has the fans run automatically on the R2.
    Though I don't look for it personally, I control the fans with HWiNFO always as it allows me to use my own ideas on what RPM at what temperature.

    To me all the same, simply I want that they worked automatically. It to do laziness to me.

    Yours 7970 is clevo or dell? Your fans can automatically work?

    You won't be able to use auto fan , you will need to set up HW Info .

    I don't think there is a way to make them work automatically, you will probably be attached to HWInfo only :(
