Water cooled here so no worries.....It's not up to the driver to control the fan in the first place, and the cooling can take a huge amount of abuse that's well beyond the amount of heat that the card could ever output in the first place.

If the driver doesn't control the GPU fan, what does?
In CCC, I can set the fan control manually under the Performance option.
I meant in my particular setup, as the entire stock heat sink / Fan assembly isn't even installed on the video card to begin with ( water blocks are installed there ), so there's nothing plugged in the fan header on the video card PCB.

I bet exactly ZERO people have had their cards fried from the driver setting the fan speed too low. That is such BS, as if the GPU wouldn't throttle...
...And now a bunch of haters are going to pile on and claim that AMD is frying GPUs with their drivers.

Really sounds like AMD needs to pull these drivers back. I had a problem with my Nano, some how the OC of 10.5% got impregnated with all the game titles even though globally it was reset. I do not like seeing artifacts on the screen with a new graphics card playing a game. I may have done something but I am pretty sure I set it back. I think I will be rolling back as well, just the video features is enough not to use these.

And AGAIN, would love to see proof of FRIED GPUs. People seem to be pretending that GPUs don't downclock to prevent overheating.

I can't tell, been playing mostly D3 and my two fury x's have been fine w/ crimson
just tried w3 and second card did hit 21% top card locked 20% but temps never went over 50c at 4k all maxed and hairball off 55 to 60 fps crossfire working fine
.......
I do wish with the fury x's they would put in a minimum fan speed and not just a max fan speed
the stock 15% is a little slow and I can't hear much difference between 15% nan 25%
and as much as afterburner messes up with win 10 I would rather not run it
...
and crimson and afterburner
afterburner's on screen display shows up on the crimson panel

I agree..chance of that is nil. The GPU would simply shut off completely before that would happen.

You should be right. Dude may have had a defective card to begin with.
Is there even more than one person claiming that his card **** the bed?

The interesting thing with that one guy... if you look at his post history on reddit, he spread that "Crimson drivers fried my card" thing over many subreddits in a short period of time, seemingly stirring up a panic. I couldn't find any initial posts where he asks for advice or insight or anything... Just went straight to "OH EMM GEEE THE CRIMSON DRIVERS!!!!111ONE!" and people (being as a stupid as they can be on the internet) are jumping all over it becasuse A) Haters... -or- B) They want free stuff.
I also don't get how everyone who is running Afterburner or TriXX can complain. These drivers don't play nice with an overclocking program... got it. So what is the problem? Is it expected that a driver that has been largely re-worked should play nice with a 3rd party program right off the bat? ... Bet for most of these guys, the drivers would run fine if they uninstalled the overclocking software. Don't get me wrong, I get that it is not satisfactory, but you can't blame AMD. They don't write those 3rd party OC tools and have zero input on them and how they work. Roll back to Catalyst and 15.11.1 and enjoy your OC goodness.
For the rest, who have unistalled their old drivers, installed new, are NOT running 3rd party OC tools, and are still having issues... Yes, there is a genuine concern and AMD should rightly address any bugs being experienced.
For me, everything is fine. I also asked a couple of my buddies yesterday (one with a 280x and the other a 390) if they had problems... nothing. I actually asked my buddy with the 280x if his card melted yet (same card as the guy on reddit/twitter saying his card fried) and he just laughed. He even checked his fans speeds, everything is normal.
no hotfix yet ?
well maybe tomorrow
not that I can play anything anyway as I have had the brown bathroom plague for 4 days now and can't stay out of that room more than 10 minuets at a time
