its a hidden file in the application data of your user account. You gotta enable view of hidden files, and you'll see the application folder.

Yeah i think the stock fan is only 10%, and if it goes past 90 Degrees it'll go up to 40%. Must be all the people who complain about noisy fans, but yeah i found the sweet spot for my 4850s at 75%. You prob have it better cause of the double slot cooler.

The double slot on the 4870 at 100% is very cool. Haven't tried folding with 'em yet to see if it maintains though. And I don't think it's putting the core to sleep during idle either. That'll help a bit eventually even more. I'd think if it weren't just the fan speed, it'd still idle at an audible level all the time.

Mine @ idle was 19%. I checked with GPU-Z. So an 11% increase in fan speed(still cannot hear it) dropped my temps by 31c. It used to idle at 75-78 and now it at 50 tops. Mostly stays at 47C.
