R9 280x (MSI) overclocking

[bicolorduck]

hello forummies,

 

so i have been overclocking my R9 280x a bit and just wanted some advice or opinions about my overclock.

 

I clocked my card to:

 

Core clock: 1200 MHz

Memory Clock: 1620 MHz

 

( The specific details are attached to the post as a img.)

 

this overclock runs stable at 100% load at 78 C

 

Is this a acceptable temp?

 

 

thanks in advance for any advice.

looks good. i tend to keep my cards at under 80C. also, you can adjust your fan curve to achieve some extra temp room, and try to go a little further

at the temp of 78 C my fan is running at 100% speed.

ah, then you are alright. if you want a little less noise, dial down the core OC a little

nice it does about the same as my msi R9 280x but i have to have the memory at 1550 because my other one won't go any higher that that

One way to drop temps is to replace the paste between the heatsink and die. I personally was able to drop up to 10C going from noctua paste to CLU at stock (1.119V 1050core),
