I am allitle consern of my temperetures of my gpu. it runs hot. tempereture in my room is 25 degres and i have mostly dark so sun isnt a option. I fear my psu fcked up my gpu :/

 

i never puted gpu to 100% strees and i didnt do anything that would cause huge load.

 

is this normal or did my  psu fcked it up.

 

Pic of temperetures screen shoted with HwMonitor.

That PSU is definitely enough for a 290X.. But there I can just see 43 degrees, that's perfectly normal..

asus r9 290x 4gb direct cu 2

 

Found your problem, i just posted this yesterday.

 

The new DCU2 cooler was actually design for Kepler GK110 massive die size so when used on smaller size Tahiti/Hawaii core, most of the heatpipes didn't actually touching the die + older AMD GPU die placement was not perpendicular to the heatpipe, most of the die surface area only touching 1 heatpipe.

Asus GTX780 DCU2 - Heat is well distributed across 3 big heatpipes.

Hell no, that will void the warranty. Go back to the shop and change to better cooler for the Hawaii cards like the Vapor-X/Tri-X/PCS+.

No, what he's saying is apart from the reference cooled 290's, you've bought the worst 290 from all the third party manufactures for cooling.

Asus's 290 and X uses the gtx780 cooler, because asus was too lazy to develop a cooler for it, only 3 of the heat pipes actually touch the gpu.

If the gpu is <15 days of purchase,there is a good chance you can return it.

If you can do it,get the sapphire tri-x.

Since it's new, you probably can change it. What is the max temperature btw? Min temp don't mean much if max temp is good. Try run Unigine Valley a few times and record the max temp.

The 290/X cards run very hot, up to 95C.  Doesn't mean they are going to blow up, but they run hotter than normal.

 

That card in particular, as everyone else has mentioned, uses the wrong cooler.  If at all possible, return that card and get a different one.

 

If that is not possible, then those temperatures are normal for that card.

He's talking about the VRM temperature. 92 degrees in 541 seconds/9 minutes of game play benchmark is really bad.

Yes 92 degrees for VRMs are really bad, especially if you play games all day.

 

If you're going to keep it, you're going to have increase the fan speed to cool it.
