Default 3850 idling @ 91 celsius

I updated to the 9.1 cats and for some reason it wouldn't let me overclock at all. It would just keep reverting back to stock. So i used riva tuner.

I put it back to stock now and it's idling at 91 degrees! Before it would be around 40 TOPS.

what the hell rivatuner?

probably a software thing rather then a hardware thing. Try reinstalling rivatuner and having it re-recognize your hardware.

Yea, I use a profile on rivatuner to ramp up fan speed and the clock for gaming. But to get back to normal idle temps, i have to restart. Otherwise it sits at around 90C with CCC showing 0% activity.

Ill try reinstalling riva. Do i have to delete profiles and such?
