My card has 0db fan. But its not working with this release.
I have to hit the zero rpm button many times to get it working and most of the times once the fan starts kicking, never goes back to zero again.
I updated cause the previous driver had other problems with fan.
And I thought nvidia drivers were a nightmare.
Thanks for the nice welcome amd.

Looks like it really is a driver issue then, best for you to do is use 18.12.2 WHQL
Make and Model of video card?
I've got zero rpm video card too and it is idling with stopped fans.
Have you tried performing a clean install using DDU "Display Driver uninstaller" ?
ohhh... I just realized I'm using 18.12.2...
*edit*
Found someone reporting same as you here : Trihy
Hi. Thanks. Yes, is a driver problem.Sapphire 580 here. Really nice card. Drivers are much more mature than when i left amd cards.
But fan problem is some kind of a deal breaker. They hav to be cafreul with this.
Problem started as soon as I rebooted after installing new drivers with ddu and opened radeon wattman.
The previous driver has some problems with fans too. If you change the speed manually, that speed could get stuck even if you go back to auto. Which could be a problem if fans are stuck at low rpm when gaming.
Hope they resolve this bugs. The overall experience is positive. The 580 is a beast of card for mid range. Really happy how it performs at 1080p.

Should be safe to use while waiting for Adrenalin 2019 Edition to mature.
Have you tried 18.10.2 WHQL, little bit older driver, released just prior to the "Adrenalin Edition 2019"... it's available here on Guru3D Trihy

Lost manual control of fan speed on both RX480 and Vega64 in Wattman. I can just set automatic fan control, or use something like Afterburner instead though but kind of annoying.

Update 2, not happy with these drivers at all. Even though in both Wattman and even Afterburner I force fan speeds up, they still ramp down on their own when I enter a game. When I'm in just desktop in Windows, fan curve settings apply.

The info I have found so far is that applying a manual fan curve is anything but a curve and there's also limited or no hystersis so it jumps from one point to the next instead of scaling. Lower activity and it immediately jumps back so the fan is anything but smooth and the changes also re-adjusted the temperature limit on Vega GPU's and of course conflicts with other software altering AMD's OverDrive API for controlling these settings.
(And known issues such as zero fan disengaging.)
Can't speak for Afterburner or other software, I assume Sapphire and TriXX will have a update out if it's not compatible with 18.12.3 since Sapphire is a direct affiliate of AMD but even they seem to have some issues with this updated Adrenaline 2019 driver from the main driver thread and what users have reported so AMD probably tuned something when they fixed part of the current issues.
Fix the other half of these for January and Adrenaline 2019 can finally be a thing, start applying these features to Polaris after that and then probably more fixing and tweaking through February perhaps. We'll see and I guess we will also have to see how many steps down they can scale this for GCN from Vega to Polaris to Fiji and back to GCN 1.1 and the 290/390 maybe even the 7000 series though 1.0 well it seems to be struggling a bit more than the rest with the current drivers so that either has to improve or AMD will drop them at some point.
EDIT: Ah.

Yeah that does seem quite apt really.
(Fan steps! 😛 )
(Though it does kinda need to be fixed because I believe a curve was the desired result.)
