    Hi guys,

    so i recently installed the new whql amd driver 13.1 and somehow the fans keep kicking in to soon and at nearly 100%, yes i cleaned the fans, when i boot up the laptop the fans immediatley start working at 100%, with 12.10 the fans only got to that point when it had to work hard (gaming for a longer period). So my question ist: does anybody else have issues with 13.1 or am i the only one whose fans are spinning in a 5 minute cycle from 20% to 100% ?

    Fan control is primarily done in BIOS, so I think you may have gotten some legacy crappola in your install. Do an express uninstall, reboot, Driver Sweep, then install 13.1
