I would say it's about damn time that 4k card fan control was introduced, but since I swapped to an Accelero S1, I haven't been fussed about temps or noise.

No kidding, took them long enough on that one. Of course mine is under water, so not too worried about it now

I really hope this update fixes the screen rotation issue in linux, as well as the xvideo issues...hell, I'd be happy with one or the other. I'm really not impressed with ATI's support for linux, wish I had gone with an intel or nvidia based gpu

very nice... Glad to see all the cards working...
I was running CrossFireX with two 4870 X2's and you need to set the fan speed on each GPU for it to work on both.
