IDLE extremely high [R9 290 reference]

[Voids]

Hello here are the values I'm getting from AMD CCC:

 

Activity: 0%

GPU Clock: 308MHz

Memory Clock: 1250MHz

Power: 0%

Temperature: 74C

Fan speed: 20%

 

 

There is something definitely wrong. My cooling is fine for the rest of my case, especially with a 4.2GHz OC for my i7 950. Has anyone else had these problems before with the same/similar card from AMD?

 

Note: I use two monitors

     Must be old thermalpaste or bad airflow in the case or the fan isn't working.

What are your gaming temps?  :wacko:

This is how my airflow works in my case

you're best bet would be to clean out dust from the case and add new paste to the card

That's fine, take the card out and re-paste and remove dust.

I have no idea, on how to apply paste to a GPU unfortunately, but I cleaned my case out last week there with a high powered air blower.

Is it that hard to search something? If you don't want to do this send it back for warranty if you still have it.

same you would like a cpu, you just have to unscrew the cooler : D

Not when we have people like you to do it for us  thanks bud!

Here is the temps as of re-applying the thermal compound on the gpu itself.
 
 
 
Still quite high but better than before.

I'm sure that's the temps I got on mine. It's just a hot running card
