So, today I just fixed my old GPU and I want to try out something new.
I modified MY own bios from an Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7750 (https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/129938/sapphire-hd7750-1024-120820) and I overclocked it to 1175MHz core clock and 1295 MHz memory clock ( i even modified the bios to these values so I don't need to OC at every start) and it's working very good. It doesn't has any pin connecters, so maybe the power will be a limiting factor here. My question would be, can I flash ANOTHER Sapphire AMD HD 7750-s bios, specially this: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/125721/sapphire-hd7750-1024-120619

Memory is the same (elpida) and the freqs are even lower than my OC ones, so normally should be stable, but i'm worried about voltages and power. Right now i'M rocking at MAXIMUM voltage (def 1100mV now 1300mV, +20 power usage limit) .

Up1: I guess it's this GPU, https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b2093/sapphire-hd-7750-black-diamond-oc and I didn't saw a card having external power cables.

Does your card have a BIOS switch on it? One is used as a factory backup, then when you flip the switch it gives you another place to store a BIOS file. They are identical from the factory so if you screw up the update and brick your card, you just flip the switch and it sets it back to factory. I THINK you can overwrite both...not 100% if it works on every card, but I always just use 1 BIOS and then overclock from there. I always leave the factory one in case I brick the BIOS update.

Does software overclocking not work? I don't know about the 7750 but I had 7950s and they had stable overclocks on maxed sliders in afterburner.

you don't overclock by flashing the bios
install msi afterburner and set a profile ...
flashing the bios is not gonna get you anymore out of it it s a 7750 a low end card from 6 years ago

Guys, i overclocked from 800mhz to 1175 and from 1125 to 1290 with 1.3VDDC, and some of you respond like you don't even read the post... I don't want to OC further, i asked if I can flash another hd 7750 bios for this gpu. Oh and larry, no i don't have switchable bios, but i can "reflash" it with the igpu boot.

I read it, and I'm sure OneMoar read it too, and I'm standing by my post when I asked about software overclocking. You're actually taking a risk flashing to overclock rather than to move two little sliders over to get the same effect unless the card won't let you change clocks that way.

I raised those more than i should, than i simply flashed my own custom oced bios(idk anymore then bios modifier program name) and it's working excellently, but i don't know if it's safe to flash for ex xfx bios to sapphire card(having same memory chip and vram, ddr)

No, different stock keeping unit and device ID.
