R9-290 Temp

[WAR MAN]

So i just finished my gaming rig with a 4770K, an MSi Mpower, and an R9-290 ,and just joined the forums my friend urged me to join ,living the dream ,but then as i was gaming in Star Citizen ,went out to desk top and checked temps and if every thing is good as you would in a fresh setup ,and saw that my 290 has hit a top Temp of 86°

 under load  , now i know it's dangerous because many of my friends has their GPUs running at 60~65° tops ,so what should i do ,cause i afraid it wont be long before it starts fading on me ,so what should i do ,? help

A top temperature of 86 degrees doesn't sound bad mate especially for an AMD video card, what is your average temperature?

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

well you could ask @GamerDude ,he is an associated AMD R9-290 Lover ,and have came hear asking about this a wile ago , just sell the god damn thing and get a GTX 780 Lightning ,beast overclocker, great cooling with a Tri Frozr 4 ,and looks like hell ,(or get a 290 with a non reference cooler ,still a mighty card though)

it hits 90° tops and avrg at 80°

[WhatTheQuack]

I believe 95 degrees is the highest temperature a modern GPU will get to before throttling, so 86 degrees is fine, also AMD cards generally run hotter than Nvidia cards (at the moment)

 

Also what cooler does your card have?

[FloRolf]

Is that a stock 290? If it is you have pretty good temps, too good actually

[SeanAngelo]

there's a 4570k?

 

OT: 86 degrees is fine for an AMD card, it's designed to go that high especially for the reference cards. i hit 75c+ with my asus gtx 670 dcuii and i dont worry about it.

[DoubleY]

Personally (and this is purely my opinion) I don't like to let my cards get above 70 or 75 degrees. Granted, I do have an Nvidia card and not an AMD card. Although when I did have my AMD cards, I generally stuck to the same principal.

well i'm not OK with running at slightly away from throttling Temps ,this will effect the GPU life span wright ?

[Clarkey]

those temps should be ok but if you are uncomfortable with them grab another cooling solution like an Accelero or Kraken G10

Stock Black and red one

I reccomend you to take g10 bracket and this http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/82-kraken-x40-cpu-cooler.html. It keeps your temps low

According to AMD, 95 degrees is "safe"

Those temps are fine with the stock cooler, I'm sure AMD know what they are doing and wouldn't design a cooler than can reduce the lifespan of the GPU

not totally not comfortabale ,and changing the Graphics card cooler naaaaah ,not my thing ,i bearly got the hole thing going on my own

[WAR MAN]

OK another Prob ,now i'm just in  LTT lifted my hands off of every thing and it idles at 70° ,what ?! ,my case fans placement is very optimized for airfolw ,so what's wrong with it

AMD has that slab of silicon rated all the way to 95C for 47/7 operation. You are good to go as long as it's not too loud for your ears.

[Guest Generallee]

it's noooormal

 

It's meant to run at 95°c 

[Altecice]

As said above i run both my 290x's with a custom fan profile to keep them at 75 max (but i use headphones and the sound does not apply) But they are fine till 95 and only after then set limit will they start to spin up further.

that's my second concern ,i did ramp up the fan ,and it got too loud ,now that' fine for me with my headset ,but my father asked me last night as i was gaming if i was firing up a jet engine in my room ,or something like that

thnx man ,i'll find where to sell and hopefully find another one with a non reference Cooler because even getting my hands on this one was fé%:g hard ,if not ,780 it is ,

[WyvernAbstracts]

reference amd cards usually tend to get hot, I'd urge you to return it if you can and get a sapphire or msi card. If you can't return it get a watercooling block.
