Hot hot GPU

[Ironixization]

Err I was playing some Minecraft and I decided to check my GPU temps on CAM I have an R9 290x 8GB (the yellow one) and it was hitting something quite high like 86c but the app was glitching it was saying it was 83.00000001 and the load kept going above 100 so like 934 for some reason.... is the CAM because the rest of my hardwares temps were fine but feeling the side of the PC it was very hot.... I have about 5 fans and a watercooler in my system so are the temps supposed to be like this?

The card's designed to run at 95c it will be fine at any temps below that.

Hmm but I thought that was stock?

[Uphorics]

Are you using shaders?

Just set a limit on your fps in minecraft, (I do 120 personally) and it should bring temps down.

Yes I am using shaders... But its not JUST for MC I've tried different games such as BO2 CS GO.. All still roughly the same

The 280/285/280x is not designed to run at 95c, only the 290/290x are capable of running at that temp for extended periods without damage.

 

@OP when was the last time you cleaned the GPU? try using MSI Afterburner to get your GPU temps to confirm that the software you're using is showing the correct temp.

And he does have a 290X.

And he does have a 290X.

But not the stock one... Is it still Okay?

[ADZ_123_!"£]

Yes it's fine.

[Mbarton]

Are you overclocking? 

 

what case do you have is the gpu getting enough air flow?

 

Is the card dusty?

 

try using programs like speedfan to make sure its not just your programing spitting out numbers

[Ostwind]

ah misread, though OP said 280x. maybe I should do that bed thing.

 

[Mbarton]

Its actually better then if it was stock

[Ironixization]

Yes it's fine.

Okay thanks! I will trust your advice.. I will cap my fps at 120 see if that does anything thanks !
