I am having issues on one of my rigs where the reference 480's (Single fan) are not playing nicely by sharing fan curves with the multi-fan cards. The reference cards are constantly bouncing around with my existing fan curve.
The problem is that 60% on a single fan does not equal the same amount of cooling on 2 fans GPU's.

Since Afterburner can only control fan curves for the whole setup, is there any way to set the reference cards to difference fan curves from the rest of the GPU's?

I am on Claymore with Windows 7 on this rig and Claymore can't control the fan speed for the cards for some reason. I tried running in admin mode and uninstalling Afterburner.

This rig is outside so temperatures fluctuate depending on cooler nights and warmer days.

Exact fan speed (as in rpm) doesn't matter, temprerature does.

Otherwise, fan speed and temperature curves are based on a percentile fan speed basis which should work for all cards regardless of fan cound or model.

Another thing to note is that reference cards are AWFUL for mining. Their single blower fan is less than subpar for cooling.

You are absolutely right. I just had these from when the 480's first came out. Gotta put them to good use  :P
The ASIC quality on GPU-Z is 84.4% and 73.2% which is much better than some of my other cards.

So I made my fan curve more horizontal to make it less aggressive at the higher temps. This will have to do for now. My Windows 10 rigs have no issues but I always heard that if power goes out and the PC auto restarts, there could be a menu that it gets stuck at. Windows 7 has a timed one and always recovers back to normal startup.

That like you have i think is ok.
