So I'm not sure when this happened, but my RX 580 no longer overclocks when I try to do it in MSI Afterburner. It didn't overclock, but when I ran a benchmark it showed both core and memory clocks at 300mhz. I checked HWMonitor too—it matched the same result. I went to the wattman settings and they were all stuck at 300mhz as well. After uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, it returned to the default speeds of 1360 and 2000mhz. I repeated the process a few times, but nothing changed. Now I'm unsure what to do next—can I ever overclock my GPU again? I also tried GPU Tweak, but it didn't work at all. I used to be able to push it to 1400 cores and 2150 memory with 36 volts.

If msi AB shows the GPU clock at 300MHz, that's perfectly fine. In idle mode, this is normal. However, when you apply any workload, the clock increases. This effect is noticeable only with a second monitor, since after switching to afterburner it will reset again. By checking the afterburner graphs after some gaming sessions, you'll see it matching your actual clock speed.

RedTeam4Dayz :
If you're referring to MSI AB showing the GPU clock at 300MHz, that's perfectly fine. In idle mode, this is normal. However, when any load is applied, the clock increases. This effect is more noticeable with a second monitor, as the afterburner graphs will show it dropping back down. Just observe the afterburner after gaming a short time and you'll see it stabilizes around your OC.

The unofficial OC beats me—I don't understand why.
When I run it in full load, the clocks remain at 300MHz without increasing to their expected speed.

I have the same issue.
I own a Nvidia GTX 1060 and an RX 580 Nitro +.
I'm using Afterburner 4.3.0 and 4.4.0 beta 12 with Catalyst 17.5.2 and 17.7.2, and the latest Nvidia driver.
In Afterburner I can only control the GTX 1060 but can modify memory and core clock on the RX 580.
If I remove the GTX 1060 I can control the RX 580 if I don't use the latest Catalyst driver.
I've also tried using Trixx, but the same problem persists.
Someone could help me?

I also tried trixx but still faced the same problem. Someone might be able to assist me?
I managed to fix it by using amds wattman to overclock the gpu, and it works now.

Yeah, I couldn't get my 570 mining rig to work either, but I identified the reason for the 300mhz clock issue. When I tried to enable unofficial OCR, both clocks remained stuck at 300 mhz. After adjusting some settings, I discovered that enabling unofficial OCR also activated ULPSM (ultra low power state). Just checking the box to turn this off (located above the unofficial OCR) should restore normal operation.
