Guys, just finished my first Overwatch session with this, and compared to my logitech G602, I really cant tell the difference, but it feels like I am on fire for more of the round.
Its probably a mental thing.

>>339819284
It's an MSI R9 390, the default fan profile only makes the fans kick in at 60ºC or higher, which is why it idles there. If he sets a custom profile to use 10% of the fans at anything under 60ºC, it will idle under 40ºC. Not like this has an impact in the life expectancy of the card anyway, those chips were made to run at 90ºC.

It's a really great card, probably the best for 390, but the default fan profile is retarded.

390's are weird. Idle has it not running it's fan so it looks hotter than it really is. I was planning on setting it with 10% fan when idle but most forms and reddit says it's fine.
>>339821162
It's fine. I have no real plans for a 4K monitor any time soon. I actually bought it a few days before they showed off the 1080/1070. While I know I should have waited until polaris I know from experience that if you wait for new cards you will never really build because something new are always coming right around the corner. 390 will last me a good number of years and by that time 4K monitors would most likely be much cheaper and cards will be able to handle it with no problem.

>390's are weird. Idle has it not running it's fan so it looks hotter than it really is. I was planning on setting it with 10% fan when idle but most forms and reddit says it's fine.
I have one, it's perfectly fine. You might want to set the fans to 10% anyway, it might help cool the room a bit if it's getting too hot around you. Personally, I prefer having mine idle at <45ºC, and avoid having it go over 80ºC, but that's pretty rare anyway, unless something's wrong, which only happened like two times due to the driver bug with Crimson, but it's all good now.

If you use synapse to turn off the faggy lights the thing updates your shit on your comp and in the headset to their own sound drivers.
Which in turn fucks up the sound of the headset by turning the base up to 11 and drowning out everything in the game with loud thumping sound because that's what the 12 year old dip shits want.
Kraken as just a stereo headset was comfy but an over priced piece of chinese shit.
Now its overpriced out the ass even more and sounds like shit.

Here's my current fan profile, if you want something to go by. Mine's a bit over normal idle temp right now because it's pretty hot around here this time of the year, and because it was being used just a while ago.

I found this profile to be pretty balanced overall, when the fans get loud you probably will be too invested into whatever you're playing to even notice. Also, as a general rule of thumb, don't ever upgrade drivers on day 1 that they're released unless they're some important bug fix. This goes to both Nvidia and AMD users. Always wait a couple days to make sure there are no major bugs.

Other than that, not much else to advise. You got a great card, a card that will still be around and kicking for a good while. Don't be let down with the release of the RX480, you still have a pretty good card there, even if it was more expensive than the RX480.
>>
>>339822894
The 2015 model is better made than the 2013 one and the chroma one is even better than that but it costs more because of the shitty lights bullshit.
Other than that I would say the Steelseries sensei since I am a fingertip/claw user.

Thanks I'll use that. I'm fine with a bit more heat since I'm in the living room so the heat isn't concentrated in one small room. And I know about not updating day one. Didn't one of the 900 cards completely break because of an update?

As for the card I only tried a couple of things since I only built it a few days ago and spent most of my time dealing with all the programs

Sort of, from what I heard, one of Nvidia's recent drivers was bricking systems, only a couple of bricked cards though, so it wasn't too widespread, but it did happen. There was also one driver from Nvidia not long ago that was killing laptop display panels. AMD's first Crimson release also had a problem where it would lock the fan settings at a low %, which caused some cards to bluescreen systems and shit, though the reports of it killing cards were all unconfirmed (because cards will automatically shutdown or throttle at certain temperatures to prevent physical damage, so a card dying because of overheating is very unlikely unless it was already dying from something else).

Driver glitches in GPUs are pretty frequent. Never update on day 1, kids.
