7970 flickering

[Frenzy]

I get the odd flicker VERY rarely on my MSI OC 7970. I only use the catalyst panel to OC. I don't have MSI afterburner or anything like that installed. I have only noticed this on newer drivers...
I use firefox as my main browser.

There is a definite issue with firefox im afraid. I'd suggest trying chrome if you don't mind switching.

Just noticed my 7970 goes to 80c with fan on 80+% (due to fan curve in afterburner), this isn't right? This seems very excessive plus flicker problem, is it bad after all?

Was playing a game, not idle.

Here's pic of my case inside and from area where it's at. I know cables are mess but they're out of the way and ones inside I never look at and ones on outside I've been moving a lot so haven't gotten around to tidying up.




Fan on heatsink blowing toward exhaust one on the back, ones on top aren't connected because they make noise and I'm not sure if I should have them on even. Soundcard is below graphics card and just noticed little thing that moved out of place next to it is dust guard.
Not sure what else I can do except fix top fans and turn them on if that will help.

P.S. There was another fan below cables but removed it because it also was off and with all the fans around it didn't want it on.

P.P.S. Both underclocking profile and upping 2d clocks fixes flicker, just matter of deciding which one I want now.

Well I just did OCCT test for half an hour and temperature was 90-95 degrees Celsius.. If that's not bad I don't know what is.

Also during CPU test my i5 3570k was under heavy load at ~70 temp, OCed from 3.4 to 3.8, is that a lot?

What temps does the card reach at stock clocks and voltage?

 

[No_LiMiT]

That was stock, core 1050 mem 1375 voltage 1256

This happens to me randomly if i watch video's or play flash content with overclocked memory on my card.

What does? Lot have been said in this thread so far haha, but I'm treating my flicker problem as fixed now just worried about damn heat.

Screen going like in your picture.

And you reach 80c? Sounds like a faulty card if those are stock clocks. Who did you buy it from? I'd enquire about an rma and see what they say.

You're right, I removed the memory clock and it hasn't happened since.
