Accelero Hybrid on R9 290 Bad Load Temps
Go to solution
Solved by Prophet of Entropy,
I meant cleaning the rad, not the cold plate, special cleaners are really only needed when your going to use a liquid metal TIM. I recently cleaned my HTPC (old main rig) 3 year old asetek cooler's rad by putting the rad in a bucket of very hot soapy water and dunking it for 15 mins to clean it better then just blowing it off. it helped a supprising amount, the rad had looked clean but made the water fairly brown.
some stress tests put unreallistic loads on the hardware (furmark is bad for this, really really bad depending on the version, but good if your benching max power draw) . why I don't really care about stress test heats. run your most demanding game on the highest settings you plan on using and monitor the heat during that.
