I'am new here and want to share a fix I found to fix on one of my MSI R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC. Problem was that the fan of one of my GPUs was permanently at maximum while the temperature was in an acceptable range (~77°C). Well after hours spent on the web I found out that some MSI R7000 series have a faulty diode that can be removed as shown there:

Since I removed this diode, the card is a lot less noisy and the fan lifetime will probably be longer as well

hope that can help someone here
