So i have my AMD R7 360 and i have noticed that in idle it's running 49 degrees celsius , i have 2 monitors and in idle i mean web browsing and watching videos and i can hear the fan getting louder so what should i do?

I recall there being a problem with the R7/R9 gpu's not downclocking when running more than 1 monitor. I had the issue with an R9 270X.

Have you checked to see if your gpu clock is running at max all the time?

You can use something like msi afterburner to make a custom fan curve.

49c is not overheating, i let mine idle at around 60-70c, and under load it would have 75% fan speed and still go into 70-80c.

It is quite noisy as well.

Also good thing to keep in mind sometimes the amd control will conflict with afterburner and the fan will get stuck at what speed it was running at. Usually in the low speeds resulting in high 90s when gaming if not noticed. When this happens just change the fan speed in afterburner, that will fix it.

I had mine for a year, and it is still working.

Noisy, hot, slow and unreliable but works most of the time. And cheap.
