PowerColor AMD RX 580 8GB DDR5 RED DEVIL Graphics Card problem ebay advice need your help

[syfer]

Hi so I got my second hand PowerColor AMD RX 580 8GB DDR5 RED DEVIL Graphics Card from eBay but their are few problems.

Here is the video link 

The first is the fan only comes on during the bios boot up and when windows comes to the desk top the GPU fans go back off.

The second problem is clock speeds seems to be all over the place at boot up.  

I have looked at the bios of the card when switching oc to silent the fans don't come at all and when i switch this in oc the fans only come on at bios boot.

you can see the pic here

Thats how most cards work these days. They turn off the fans until core reaches certain temperature (Usually around 50-60c depending on a model).

 

As for the core clocks - Are they stable during consistent loads? Gaming, benchamarking etc

Yeah thats normal, put a load on your card and get it up to about 50-60c and you should see them come on

the clock speeds jump all over the place now because it is constantly downclocking and overclocking itself to use less power and generate less heat. its a feature!

https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven would be a good way to test and run GPU-Z  https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-gpu-z/ to monitor temps (click on the sensors tab)

Ok I will try Futuremark 3DMark I have already installed. How do i know if the gpu any problem with the gpu how would one know what to look for as this my first time looking for faultfinding in gpu as a used second product.
