When did Crimson drop manual fan speed control?

[Killrose]

I'm running the 16.10.3 Crimson drivers, and when I got into the overdrive settings noticed that there was not a check box for Manual Fan Speed control. I could have sworn it was there in previous drivers. Was it?, LOL
First time I need to use it, its not there.

Are you using a 400 series card? If so I think it's all moved into Wattman. I'd recommend using MSI Afterburner or similar though instead anyway.

Using a reference R9 290 that is modded with a Zalman 3000a dual fan cooler which has a 3-pin cable fan lead. I tried using a Geilid conversion cable that has a: ATi 4-pin graphics board connector to 4-pin PWM male. I was hoping to plug my Zalman 3-pin into the 4-pin PWM male and then setting the speed manually in Crimson drivers to a suitable noise/cooling level. But default voltage is 12v and the Zalman 3-pin does not give me PWM fan control. I currently am using a Resistor 3-pin cable which knocks down the 12v to 8.4v which is perfect, but I have to have another adaptor cable to get power for that. Trying to clean up my case clutter.

16.10.3, everything's still there in the global overdrive settings and works as expected. I guess it has to do with your modification...

Ok, I lied. I had the 16.10.2 driver...updating now to 16.10.3

edit: updated to 16.10.3 and Still No Manual fan speed check box. I anm using Windows 10 64-bit

So I have another comp with a HD 7850 with stock 4-pin PWM fan. Using the 16.9.2 Win7 64-bit drivers, the option to manualy control fans is there.

I am using Window 10 64-bit in the machine with the Zalman R9 290 in it, so it could be that you are right about it not seeing a PWM stock fan set-up and not enabling the manual option to show.
