rx480 clocking rpoblems

I am posting because i am having problems with my rx480 as you can probably tell from the title of this post. it started a few months ago, i was having problems clocking my gpu to the full 1288mghz (which is the stock clock speed for my gpu type) i tried fiddling around in the settings on my drivers but couldn't get anything to work. im pretty sure this happened after i had done some overclocking so i think i may have damage it somehow, but the only things i touched were the clock speed and the power limit slider (pics shown down below), as well i tried to do a slight under volt. the reason i hadn't posted sooner is because i was not using my pc to heavily, but now that i am playing more the clock speed issue is really bugging me. my

 

what my gpu shows under stress is that it will clock to 1288 and then go back down to around 800-1000mghz. from what i can tell it looks like its not stable at the 1288 clock for some reason but idk, i had even tried lowering the clock speed by 7.5% to see if anything will happen but it didn't help.

can anybody help??

Hi, seems to me that you are having heat problems, try stress testing it with the fans on full blast, I have the RX 580 and it can't hold its stock speed with the normal fan curve, try that and tell me how it goes.

no its defiantly not heat problems, i actually have my card water cooled and it is stays at 50-60 max when under stress. also if this helps, when i put the power limit higher and have the card down clocked it can hold it clock steady , but im losing like 150 mghz.

Are the VRMs covered by your water block? if not then try to cool them.

its the full water block so yes they are. i think i will look into the idea of overheating because that seems plausable.
