The fan is now quiet and the GPU running cooler.

Incidentally, I never experienced a problem with the fan switching on and off rapidly. On my system, the GPU started running hot with the fan coming on loudly following a system update a few days ago. The only way I could get it to run cool and the fan quiet was by reverting to the 173 driver and stopping and starting the system. Today, I tried again with the 177 driver and the system is running cool with quiet fan.

I have been running the A12 BIOS the whole time - maybe this is why my symptoms have been different?
