Rx580 8gb Slow Base Clock/Won't OC!

[Cbanter]

Hey guys, I need help pretty badly. 

 

I picked up a secondhand XFX RX580 8GB gts black edition that should have a base clock of 1257mhz. Well, gpuz is showing its default is 1130mhz. Also, I cannot OC in afterburner or the stock software at all. I go to apply and it just goes right back. 

 

What the heck is going on!? Never had this problem with any Nvidia GPUs. 

 

Things I've tried - Flipping the bios switch, disabling fast boot, checking all the boxes I can think apply in Afterburner (there is one I can't change under AMD options and it says to the right "disabled"), uninstaling the driver and reinstalling it, etc... Nothing seems to work and I'm very confused! The bios appears to be stock, looking at the bios I.d. under gpuz and referencing a techspot bios download for the card. 

 

What is going on here!!? How can I fix this? Do I need to reflash the Gpu? Thanks.

Try reflash it anyway? You can't say it's the same bios unless the MD5/SHA1 hash is the same. 

You can export your BIOS and use BIOS editor to check the stock clock.

I had a similar problem. Uninstall afterburner, When I did that and updated my drivers everything was good.

That's a bit foreign to me but I'll look more into it. Thanks.

Sounds like it might have a mining BIOS installed the base clock for that card is like 1400.

I think you can check your BIOS clock speed in GPU-Z Advanced tab. If it show 1130mhz then you probably on mining BIOS, if it show the same as box spec, probably not BIOS related.

Well... I was easily able to properly reflash the correct bios. It restarted and was fine. Finally showed the default clock as 1405 but the current clock was 1130. I decided to unistall the Radeon software and then restarted. It now will not go past the dell loading screen. Goes past the dell screen to a black screen then will not go any further, no matter the port used or bios position in the card... Super annoying!

 

The seller is nice enough to exchange it for another that he has. I just hate to be defeated!
