I've encountered a couple of issues (not sure if they're problems or if it's normal, so I'm here to ask you guys) with my EAH5870v1
First issue is when I boot up my computer, as it's POSTing my card's fan goes on max until the POST finishes. So it's like push on button on computer, hear my card's fan on max for couple seconds, fan returns to normal, windows loads and I go on my way. Is this normal? I've sorta gotten used to it and I haven't had any real problems with the fan malfunctioning otherwise. Am I the only one experiencing such a problem or have others gone through the same thing?
Second issue makes me really nervous. I have everest OSD on my screen at all times so my temps are always being monitored. Started happening just about a week ago, my card was being fed 1.65v for no apparent reason. I wasn't gaming, it wasn't being manually entered, it was just being fed 1.65v. I checked afterburner it showed all the stock settings were loaded, but GPUz, afterburner, OSD all showed a hefty 1.65v. My first instinct is okay it's a busted sensor, but looking at my temps they were running at 85c and counting. I called Asus support and they seriously said it wasn't a problem and that it was NORMAL. Okay I'm not a genius, but I'm pretty sure stock = normal. Should I go in to RMA the card or try to find a fix somehow?
Hopefully someone out there has some answers
