I have no idea how it works on Windows; above is for Linux.
It's tough to believe maxing the fan speed wouldn't bring temps down, because on my machine there was an immediate drastic drop in temps. Just keeping the fans at 40% instead of 33% has brought temps down to 64c from 80c. Of course this is all reported through the ATI commands, so who knows what the card is actually doing...
Possibly your fan isn't even running?
