R9 380 Overheating 90+ Degree's

[dannyj6185]

I have an AMD R9 380 Graphics Card and its 3 years old, for about a year now whenever I run a game or video streaming it gets as hot as 96 Degree's. To try and fix it, I have implemented a fan curve but its no use; so my fan is always running at 100%.

 

Specs:

i5 - 6400

AMD R9 380 4gb

8gb Ram 2400mhz

Stock Cooler

(I don't know if its important but my computer was build in a inverted layout, so my PSU is above my GPU)

 

Message if you need any additional infomation.

these cards are old, you ought to try fresh thermal paste

Maybe unrelated, but why does it say radeon R9 200 Series though?

[dannyj6185]

Edgar,

 

After a driver update about a year ago it changed it across my entire system. Even on radeon settings it says R9 200 series after a double checked from where a bought the computer and it says R9 380. I also checked to see what it looked like in my case and I can tell you that it's a 380 not part of the 200 series.

Try updating drivers, and probably new thermal paste too. Depending on the quality of the paste it can dry out or reduce in performance. Does it throttle at all

[dannyj6185]

AdvancedMicroDisapointment,

 

I will update my drivers and could you please explain what you mean by 'throttle'

I fixed it. After 3 years the dust built up around the GPU, so I cleared it today and doesn't go above 70.
