Hi all,
I think I may have an issue with my newly installed crossfire of x2 amd 7950s , if anyone could help me out in resolving/ giving some insight on this, that would be awesome!
[The problem]:
So, currently I have a 'PowerColor HD7950 3GB GDDR5 BOOST STATE(V5)'

and I bought a HIS HD 7950 [http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-679.shtml] off a friend since he was upgrading to an R9 card, shouldn't be a problem you should be able to crossfire both of these cards. I got it installed, uninstalled the old drivers, and re-installed the latest ones. But everytime I open my web browser or a game, the HIS card sounds like it's 'booting up', the fan speeds up to max rpm for a few short seconds then quickly back to a normal speed. When I close the browser/game I can hear what sounds like the HIS card fan in my PC sound like it's stopping all together.. (i've checked with gpu-z and it is the card fan, looks like it powers off completely too) it could be that or it's just decreasing in rpm to save power...
I was wondering if this was normal or not... or is there a fix, Im really stumped as to what it could be...?
I also, looked in to ULPS, but I disabled it and it did nothing, help?
