Odd 4850 core mhz problem [solved]

[silentfoot]

hi all,

i've got this really odd problem...today i purchased the HIS 4850 iceq4 turbo X, which comes factory overclocked at 685 and 1100.

under the ATI overdrive in the CCC (catalyst 9.4) i noticed that the core mhz constantly switches from 685 to 500 randomly. i installed gpu-z and under the graphics card tab it says 685 but when i click on the sensor tab it says 500! once in awhile it'll spike up to 685 randomly as well.

i'd really appreciate any feedback on what could be causing this and whether or not i should be worried. thanks!

You deserve to be beaten to death with a rubber mallet.

As does anyone who answers this idiot.

wow that was really really helpful

a reply telling me why my question was dumb would've been helpful though? sheesh..sorry for being such a 'n00b'! below are some screenshots from gpu-z...
