AMD Crimson Drivers Issue [Nov 30, 2015, 09:17 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 realize this is anecdotal, but I had my first ever red screen of death yesterday while running the Crimson drivers and the beta Fallout 4 patch.
I've been running a CrossFire setup for two years now and it's been...interesting. It's absolutely fantastic when it works, butATI AMD seems to have intermittent driver issues, especially in relation to CF. Also, they were really slow to begin addressing framerate latency compared to Nvidia.
CF-issues, slow profile releases, CF missing in certain releases...
Unless there is a significant price/performance ratio, I think my next card purchase will be some type of SLI setup.
Still having that feeling that the drivers are a little jankey,
Ray
