AMD Crimson Drivers Issue [Nov 30, 2015, 10:17 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
AMD's new reference drivers are
presumably not named "Crimson" because they make cards red hot, but there are
lots of users reporting overheating problems using them. There are even some
saying this has killed their GPUs outright, as shown in
this reddit thread, which says the drivers are locking fan speeds on some
systems at 20% of maximum. A
tweet from AMD
acknowledges the issue, saying a hotfix is coming today: "We are aware of low
fan speed reports on select GPUs with Radeon Software Crimson Edition. We intend
to publish a hotfix on Monday." In the meantime,
this reddit post (thanks
Softpedia) offers a workaround on how to perk up your fans. Thanks

I've rarely had issues with ATI/AMD drivers and I've been using them on and off since the X1900 days. The only time I have a problem is when I install a new set and forgot to run the installer as admin which causes some to not install.
However, much can be said about their driver delivery in regards to newly released titles and how they seem to drag their ass. Took them, what, nearly a week to pull Fallout 4 out from the gutter?
