Hello everyone! I've bought recently this GPU and since I got it, it had issues, because it wouldn't show the GPU clocks on GPU-Z and the clocks where stranded at 1000mhz clock and 2300mhz memory, I also tried installing the drivers via device manager and AMD Adrenalin (all giving errors). After that I changed the switch from boost mode to silent and became normal, I switched back to boosted mode and nothing happened, it kept on silent mode, but by this time all was working. And of course after extensive search I saw the amdvflash thing, tried it, seems to work but overheats alot, I hopefully think it needs an repaste there... I don't know what if I did something wrong here...

Ok pull the card from the case, get a picture of the partnumber and SKU Sticker located on the side of the card heatsink near the pcie blade. Then a gpu-z screenshot of the card in silent mode with a picture of the advanced tab showing what memory is on it. Post all pics here please
You may want to consider cleaning the heatsink and fan and do a repaste of the gpu die and maybe thermalpad replace. 1000 and 2300 tells me a mining bios is on the card.

As @eidairaman1 said earlier, for sure that BIOS was used for mining.
In this case it is more likely that you will encounter random errors and crashes during normal usage, not to mention in gaming sessions.
So yea, it would be wise to clean up the card....but don't bother to do that until we finish to make it works as it should.
After that you can clean it and repaste it.
For now, as @eidairaman1 said already, we need the pictures from the serial number and sku from the card.
Also we need a picture from GPU-z - main screen and another from GPU-z > advanced tab and from drop down menu you choose advanced timings
