Is my MSI R9 270X running way too hot?

[Ethre]

Hello, I have an MSI R9 270X with Twin Frozr fans. The question I want to ask is if my GPU is running too hot.

I was playing GTA V earlier today, and at the beginning the temps were like 70-75C, but after playing the game for like 15-20 minutes the temps raised up to 80-90. I never saw it over 90C. The card's fan is also broken I think ,as it makes this unusual sound, tried everything to fix it but I couldn't. I can't RMA the card because it was purchased in the capital city, which is 4 hours away from me, and the warranty is about to end.

"The card's fan is also broken I think" - You solved your own problem. Now go get a replacement heat sink fan from ebay/amazon/ whatever you want. Those are really easy to replace

90°C is high for a 270X.

If your fan is broken, then it's a pretty bad problem, try to get it sort out.

i really have no idea why my card is running so hot

 

the airflow in my case is just amazing

 

i can live up with the sound but if my gpu runs this hot for no aparent reason, that's when i get worried

 

it doesn't exactly push to 90c, it just goes to high 80's at times, and then drops all the way down.

Try to clean the GPU from the dust, and if you can change the thermal compound it will help a lot, i have the r9 270x (asus) and max temps are 65/70 when i'm playing.

Even the idle temps of the card reaches 30C
