Hi, I bought a second hand graphics card and when I press the reset to default button in MSI Afterburner, the coreclock is still overclocked (overclocked past the "boost" clock speed on the graphics card's official specs). What could be causing this and if it was the previous owner, what could he have done to achieve this? This is an AMD card. Thanks.

Nvidia's software is called GPU boost, I don't know what the name for similar behavior is on AMD cards but either way, when there's excess cooling and power to spare the card will take advantage of it

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Hi, thanks for your quick reply. So MSI Afterburner just automatically overclocks my card past the official boost clock speed by default? I am just concerned that this card was used for mining and i don't know if this could be an indication of that. Thanks
