AMD's Radeon Software Crimson Edition drivers have been plagued by a rather big and nasty bug which locks the fan speed at 20 percent on certain graphics cards, making them crash or in some cases to even die. AMD has announced that they are aware of the issue and should fix it today.

A number of users on Reddit have been reporting a major issue with the new Radeon Software Crimson Edition drivers which locked the fan speed at 20 percent on certain graphics cards. This produced issues like performance drop or system crash when those graphics cards overheat. Some unlucky users are also reporting a dead graphics cards due to the issue.

AMD has announced that the company is aware of "isolated reports of low fan states" on select Radeon GPUs and that they managed to fix the issue. The company plans to release a hotfix today.

It appears that AMD simply can't get a break and thankfully this did not affect a large number of GPUs. In case you are running on AMD Radeon graphics card and have Crimson Edition driver installed, we suggest you check the fan setting before hotfix is released.
