GPU tempts

I was playing shadow of mordor when i realised that my GPU is running at 90 C (HOLY CRAP) (GPU is an r9 290x tri-x) My fan speed set at 90C is 70%

Is that temperature okay to be at? I know AMD stated that it is okay for the gpu to run at 95C but this worries me...

no, 90C is the point at which you should worry, change your fan curve to be more agressive. it should be at 100% fan speed if you're over 85C.

you'll also notice tempeture throttling at that point, meaning less pretty graphics :(

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Those are some scary temps. My 290 peaked at about 62C in SoM with everything set to ultra w/ the HD texture pack and ran it all at 60fps. Seems like something is wrong with the cooling of your card..

Increase your fan speed to 100

 

Those temps are dangerous

How are these settings then?

I dont experience any thermal throttling

Is there any settings in MSI AB that i can do to decrease the tempts? 

I even pulled my OC from 1155 core to 1140 core D:

Undo GPU overclocks and reseat the cooler with new paste.

So the paste might be dried out? :o

 

That curve isn't high enough. Make it go to 80% at 75c

My gpu peaks at 86C while playing SoM...

Well if it helps my ambient tempt is 30C....

Can i use the thermal paste that came with my CPU cooler (212x) for my GPU? 

Or should i even bother with thermal paste change?

yeah. just avoid getting it everywhere. a little dab will do ya.

Should i even bother changing it? Are my tempts normal for an ambient of 30C?

Ehh the part of Canada I live in is a rainforest so the humidity is stupid high and the sun shines in my room all day making it often 35C with the window open.

you need to do something. even with ambient 30C you shouldn't see over 80C under heavy load with stock clocks.

 

just as a quick test, try taking your case's side panel off, if you see better temps your air flow is bad.

if temps don't look better with the side off, then look into thermal pasting that SoB.

 

oh, anytime you have 3 graphics cards know that the middle one you can expect to be stupid hot all the time 80-85C (70C idling) unless you have water cooling.

Those are not stock clocks!

My factory clocks were 1040/1300

I oced to 1140/1580!

I have a corsair spec 03 with 2 sp120s and 1 of the LED stock fans blowing in

While 1 sp120 and 1 stock fan as exhaust at then top left side of my case from the window side

yeah, but a +100 OC isn't too far off.

 

dude, just try it. take that case side off like they're a pair of lacey undies.

Well they did drop the tempts by quite alot....

With side panel on my gpu tempt hovers ard 84C

Without it hovers around 77C....

I use speedfan to control the exhaust to try to maintain positive air pressure all the time tho...

well, looks like you might want to invest in water cooling or forget pressure and go with flow.

 

77C under load or idle?

i'd say that's pretty great if it's under load.

 

players player hate the shit outta me when i say take the side panel off, but it's a really valid option. like camping. it's a legit strategy.

I think imma drop my OC and keep to factory settings xD

Thanks for your help! :D

I remember when GPU mining was still a thing, I put 2-3 7970's through hell for many months straight.

They were running at 100+ 24/7.  I did have one card fail and another suffer a fan failure.. So it probably isn't the best idea to stress your hardware too much and let the temps go wild.

But 90's for short periods of time shouldn't be an issue in my experience with my 280x. (Thanks XFX for your not so great cooler designs!)

Now im trying to OC without voltage offsets :P i got 1110 core stable so far wooo

Holy crap lol, if you are at 90 without voltage offsets... don't you dare touch those voltages.

Touch em and it would probably literally melt.

Im at 90 with +100mV!

Now im hovering ard 75-77C without voltage offset at i managed to OC to 1110mhz core :P

Yup... that's hot alright. It will hurt performance around 95c from what I've heard. Automatic throttling.

How is 75-80C for a 290x then? :o under full load of course! With no voltage offset

/quiver. Well you said legit, not good...  so I can't give you grief   :P

 

OP, keep in mind that the line of AMD card you're running does get warm. Peaking into 85C+ or so shouldn't be abnormal, but staying there consistently is when you'll start causing damage.
