Since the start that i got my hands on a used XFX HD7950, i had the problem that the fans won't spin under 80% fanspeed.
The bearings are really smooth and both fans are easily moved by a small breeze.
Besides that the fans won't spin un 80%, my memory clock is locked at 1250 MHz. I'm unable to change this in the Crimson software.
Both these problems make my card run either, very hot (95 degrees celsius) or very loud at 100% fan speed due to thermal throttling.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all software. I even tried it with the AMD Clean Uninstall Utility.
I'm also unable to switch bios settings because there is no bios switch on this card (in case it is bricked). However the soldering points do exist.
Also flashing the bios will not change anything either. I've tried it multiple times on multiple ways, nothing seems to make a diference.
Does someone know how to solve this problem?
This card is still very good at running modern games at very high settings on 1080p60 and it would be a waste of money to buy a new one.
Hope someone knows a solution.
