R9 270X running hot even with case door open?

[ffxiimaniac]

As the title says. Even with the case door open, it runs at 47C on idle with nothing running besides the elgato hd60 software. Is this normal? As a result the fans spin at 1200RPM on idle accourding to speedfan. When under load with PCSX2 at 6X the resolution it is running at 56C with the fan RPM of 1700RPM almost. This seems insanely high for the case door being open. Any questions you have to help solve this would be good. It's always been this way for me, I just thought it was my case/airflow. Now that I have that solved I don't understand these issues. Nothing else in the case runs at more than 46C even under load.. Which is still lower than the GPU on idle. If this is a stupid question I apologize.

Those temperatures are quite good for any air cooled graphics. And they aren't actually high at all.

 

Edit: My older computer is similar, with its GTX 650ti seeing similar temperatures when going from idle to full load, and the rest of the system stays between 40-55^oC with the fans set to standard and running at low RPM.

Speedfan shows the flames though? Also it is loud at 1700RPM quite loud actually.

1. Speed fan doesn't work correctly all of the time

2. The fan has to be running faster than 1700RPM if its loud-even my cheapest graphics cards with the worst fans aren't loud at higher RPM.

3. I think there might be a fault with fan itself if its reporting that speed while also being loud

1 - Speedfan is abysmal

2 - it's normal for a card to run warmer and louder under full load - what are your load temps and RPMs?
