Hello guys
Just recently I bought new PC components with all work flawless. PC components:
- Motherboard Asrock H81 Pro BTC
- CPU Intel i5 4460 3,2 gHz
- SSD Samsung evo 850 250GB(for OS and programs only)
- Saphire R9 380 Nitro 4GB

So the first issue of all is, that the GPU cooler goes in my opinion to slow. when the temperature is at 70C it's speed is only at about 40-50%. The maximum temperature I archived is at 79C while gaming.
The second issue is, that one time the GPU clock didn't slow down or stayed for some reason at maximum, which lead the GPU to heat up to 98C !! I paniked and manually turned the fans to 100% untill it cooled down. I don't know if there is a issue with drivers and if a third party program would resolve this issue.
The third issue is that the AMD driver sometimes stops working and results in the game to crash. Happens on a daily basis, usually every 5-10min when it happens(lets say a dozen times).
The fourth and hopeful last issue are low FPS while playing Fallout 4. No idea why, but this is the only game where I have 30-60 fps (usually around 40 which is frustrating). In other games like GTA V and the newer CoD have I usually around 60-80 FPS.
What I tried: I experimented with settings, put everything from LOW to ULTRA with same results, leading in LOW only to about 10 more FPS.

I would really appreciate any help regarding my problem!
 
I have Nitro 2 GB Sapphire 380 and it has fan issues too.They only work properly with MSI afterburner, otherwise they spin too slow or not at all.Also has GPU usage problems.Seems to have problems with stuttering in some games too, but maybe it's the games fault.
Fallout 4 is unoptimized garbage, don't judge your GPU on that shit.What drivers are you using?
 
I must admit that the FPS are higher, no longer limited at 60, but going up to as much as 140, but at some points (like in the big city) the FPS drop down to 20, which is probably because of bad map optimisation.
Do you think that this driver will resolve the "driver stopped working" issue aswell?
 

Oh, you have that?Never mentioned in the OP.Or did it now occurs with newest driver?
Did it fix the fan issue?
 
It ocured in the previous driver so lets hope that this is fixed. For the fan issue am I going to install MSI afterburner and edit that fan controlling there.
 
So: It happened again, twice in 5min. The game simply freezer for few seconds then quits + the screen urns black for 2 seconds aswell. Any ideas? I already tried some troubleshooting tips from the AMD website without success.
