8800gts 9400gt 9600gt HD3850 5850 260x-given to my mother, She needed it for her farmville. 270x-current gtx970-soon I still have them all. As far as I know, they all still work.

I just took a peak at XFX support. They say under extreme stress testing the gpu will hit 95c. So I guess I'm not having heat issues....? 970, when I can find one in stock, here I come.

I just checked temps again using CCC, after 5 seconds of furmark my temps hit 94c. I left it for a few minutes with no change in temps and no other signs of an issue.(crash, throttle, or artifacts) GPU-Z reads the same temps, Idle voltage reads 11.84v and 11.56v when running burn in.

Specs: CPU-FX8320@4ghz Motherboard-MSI 970A-G46 GPU-XFX R9 270x@1050mhz core 1400mhz memory Ram-PNY 8gb DDR3 1600mhz PSU-EVGA 500w 80plus SSD-2 x PNY OPTIMA 240gb HDD-WD black 500gb Room temps-25c I have been using this GPU for about 3 months now and have not tried to overclock it till now. I downloaded Afterburner and ran a Furmark test to get an idea of my max temps. Afterburner says my idle temps are around 35c but the moment I start the burn in test, my temps jump straight to 90c. There is no crashing, throttling, or artifacts. Is this normal? If not, could it be a bad sensor or is my card just a POS.
