MSI R9 390/X Temps

[Matt_Twinkletoes]

So recently I've had to RMA two 390X which I believe were defective twice in a row and I am currently waiting for MSI to send back the third 390X I have received from them? The problems I am having were 94°C at 100% fan speed with thermal throttling. These issues led me to believe that my problem was airflow, so I started by purchasing another case fan and neatening my cables from my non-modular PSU completely behind my case and my ambient temperatures are also only 60-65°F. This then not fixing anything, I then though about software after getting my 2nd 390x and so I updated my motherboard bios and made sure I was running the latest graphics drivers on my PC, this did nothing. So basically I am wondering what are your MSI 390/X temperatures are under 100% load and fan speed, I have looked up temperatures on the internet but they're all different and I am wondering what actual people not reviewing a card are getting.

Mine sits at 86-87C while benchmarking unigine heaven or 3dmark. So yea... 94C sounds quite high...

i herd that there was a bug with the amd drivers or something which made the fan not spin up and cause high temps. were yours spinning up?

That was fixed like two driver releases ago...

To 100%

Tell that to the people still having problems...

They're probably using the stock fan settings where the twin frozr fan's don't turn on unless the gpu is past a certain temp. No one who knows what they're doing should be having these issues anymore.

86-87C

That's still false advertising...

notice i said "herd"..... i don't own a amd card so i don't keep up with their bugs. i was just asking a question

That was taken while in a gaming session as a real-world scenario. Those temps are realistic, if not a bit generous.

No, two topics at the moment on the first page of this sub forum about this problem.

Yea. I see them. I feel like it has to be a hardware problem at this point though. I myself, and a friend of mine both have a 390/X and haven't had a single issue with fan speed when I got mine a months ago when this first started happening to people, and he just got his on wednesday this week. It has to be some middleman program causing the issues or just straight up hardware failure.

One of these days we'll figure it out i guess.

My Vapor X 290 never had a temperature problem until Crimson. And I watched my fan speeds like a hawk and they didn't change. I have no idea what's doing it ether but Crimson is involved.
