Ok, so I enabled overdrive and activated my profile, but when I go to edit the xml file, it doesn't show anything about fan settings. What's going on?

You have to save the profile before you can the fan settings.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if you make a profile in catalyst after turning on Overdrive( make sure clock and memory settings are correct). You can then go to the file "C:\Users\Bretware\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Bretware. XML. the xml file will have the same name as the catalyst profile you saved. right click and hit edit.

Change the value to "manual" and Want value to "65"

Save the file then reload your profile in catalyst.

65% seemed perfect for me, 70% was loud but you may need it if your case has poor air flow.

You will may have to select the profile everytime you start the computer, but it will work until there is a fix or better info so i can figure how to change the auto target temp.

Form the catalyst control center make a profile. (I just called it fanspeed). then go to

C:\Documents and Settings\(Your Windows ID)\Local Settings\Application Data\ATI\ACE\(profile name).XML

right click on it to open it in notepad....Change 'automatic' to manual and change the want value to the percentage you want

sorry..paste isnt showing here is the link

No, you have to use CCC for the fan fix. Ati Tray Tools don't support the HD48xx yet.
