Also, you could verify speed changes while it's open.


It doesn't change automatically. I have to force it.


I mean, you can do that and see if it's really changing.


Oh, it is definitely changing since I can hear it loud when spinning at
higher speeds. At 5K, it is like an air blower in there. Hehe.


If the card is still crashing. I think I will just get a new PCIe video
card since this is so old. It might have damages too like seen with
those stickers.


That certainly solves it, if it's the card.


Yep. Maybe I'll go back to NVIDIA. :P
