 ## FAQ
@@ -99,8 +115,8 @@ From Rem0o
 <br>__A__: You want to avoid any "smart" control from your BIOS. Setting a fixed default speed, like 50%, works great for most people. Also keep an eye if your BIOS has PWM or DC mode on. One could work better for you depending on your setup.
 * __Q__: My Nvidia cards has X fans, but only two cards show up, why?
 <br>__A__: Your card only has 2 channels, more than 1 fan are plugged to the same channel.
-* __Q__: My new AMD card can't be controlled, why?
-<br>__A__: Newer AMD cards are not supported. If you can provide a working sample of code that works with these newer cards, please share!
+* __Q__: My Nvidia cards won't go below 30% and doesn't go to 0 RPM, why?
