MSI 5850 FROZR Issues

[lollyhayes]

Hi,
A friend has recently bought a new MSI R5850 Twin Frozr to run in CF with his Gigabyte 5850. There are some issues with it:
1. The sceen wobbles randomly when opening or closing applications, with lines across the screen.
2. Fan speed was 54% regardless of load (now fixed using ati overdrive to reduce fan speed).

System specs:
i5 750 (stock)
4 GB XMS3 1333
Asus P7P55D-LE board
Gigabyte stock 5850 1GB
MSI 5850 Twin Frozr (just added)
Win 7 64 bit home.
700W OCZ PSU.

Basically he wiped the drivers using driver sweeper and uninstalled all the ATI software.
Added card and Xfire bridge, switched on and installed drivers and CCC again. Then added the Open CL and CAP profiles as well.
The above problem now persists...

I would ask your friend to remove his Gigabyte 5850 from his PC and only have the MSI 5850 Twin Frozr installed and then see if problem persists. If it does then there could be a fault with the card. However, if the card is working properly, then try adding the other 5850 to the PC and this time, double check to make sure that the PCI-E power cables and Xfire bridge are plugged in securely.

Also make sure that both the card's core clock and memory clock are the same.

The fan speed is set at 50% default on the msi 5850,so you need to use afterburner or another program to set a new fan profile.
I would do as what has already been posted,i.e check the card is fine on its own first.
I had issues with my msi5850 at first,, sent it back OCUK tested it and reported it as fine, so i had it back, since when, its been ok, only had driver crash if its overclocked to far
