Check if you're running 2d or 3d clocks.
If you can't get it to use 2d clocks make 2d and 3d settings with afterburner.
>>52023884
Mine idles at like 35-40
who gives a fuck
>>52024417
not op but pls explain ?
>>52024499
Make a profile in Afterburner that massively underclocks it for minimum power usage/temperatures. Then switch to default 3d clocks when you want to do something GPU-intensive.
>>52023884
Where do you live / what are you doing to make it that hot?
28 degrees outside in Australia right now, MSI R9 290
Oh yeah OP, well I had a fermi house fire. So there.
>>52024534
Yeah ,what you said .
Setting up designated underclocked , undervolted profile as 2d
and overvolted , overclocked profile as 3d is a bit more comf tho.
There is an option in afterburner to set that up.
The card automaticly switches between said two but some programs still trigger 3d mode even if they are in background for example team viewer.

ahhh i see, thats a good idea considering i only game now and then and mostly browse and word doc. no point my card running higher than it needs to be. is the picture of afterburner you put up the 2d profile settings?

Why did you buy a reference model?
>>52024869
It was the only one available for cheap. The rest were $100 extra.
>>52025696
And for good reason, as you no doubt just found out.
>>52025696
>The rest were $100 extra.
And you didn't think there was a reason for that? Blower type coolers always run hot. The fact that it's a 290 makes it even worse.

I have a 290x idles at around 40c.
As people have mentioned, the mem clock keeps jumping to 1150mhz, and that's what pushes temps up.
On my Afterburner profile I have core/mem clocks maxed out at 600/300, then for games I have separate profiles which just max out. And this keeps non-gaming (desktop) temps at 40's. Fan speed is set to 20% const until 60c, then 50% at 70c.

I've got two reference 290s, idle/light usage puts them about 10c above ambient and around 30dB. Feels good to be watercooling master race.
For those having issues with high temps under light usage because the core clock jumps up to max activate frame rate limiting (it's in Crimson, I do believe it was in the more recent Catalyst versions too) and set it to the refresh rate of your monitor.
It's been idling at this temperature since I bought it two years ago. No problems at all, just relax and enjoy your heater.

>>52031646
...that's not particularly good at all
>>52024747
Yeah, as you can see in the upper right corner under profiles .
There is 2d profile and 3d profile ,created profile 1 is saved profile that in this case I'm using for
(just slide everything back , clocks and voltages in this pic were conservative coz i was still testing), and 3d is saved profile 5.
Because manual 2d clocks are higher than what usual 2d clocks are gpu will not use 3d clocks for multimonitor and some programs that don't really need 3d clocks.
You will however get 1 sec black screen when the card jumps from 2d to 3d and vice versa.

My mv-40 idles at 70°C
Never buy refrence amd gpus
>>52032551
It's ok to buy them if you're gonna replace the cooler immediately.
My EVGA gtx580 is still chuggin along, but when I get into some serious shit it'll blast all the way up to 80c -ish. I was waiting till the next series to come out to get the 980Ti at a decent price. Worth it to replace the cooler in this one and see if it helps at all? It is 6 years old and at the time I didnt know shit about GPU's and reference coolers, so one could also assume that the natural damage has already been done considering its age.
Obvious bait thread.
Mine is a reference and idles at 38
Mine at -95°C you fucking bitches lololol
Seriously tho, does it make a huge difference or is it just a thing people care about because capitalism?

AMD GPUs never again. I'm willing to overpay for a product if the alternative is total junk. Oddly enough I've never had a problem with their cpus and almost always use them when my friends want budget PCs.

Can't find the 2D/3D profile option.
How big of a PSU do you need for a 290? Would a 500 watt corsair be enough?
>>52035452
Depends on the other components too, but 500w will usually be enough.
r9 280x here, idles at 45c, max is about 75. 78 with any drivers before crimson.
The thing is, at 75c is using fan speeds of 40%. Is this normal for this particular GPU? It's using the stock cooler.
Silly AMD cucks.

>>52036445
Dayum. I haven't pushed my 290 above +30mv offset, but here's what I've reached so far.
>>52036029
ayy lmao the factory broken 3.5 card runs hotter than amd
nvidia shills BTFO
>>52036475
To be fair I need a staggering amount of voltage (something like +180mv offset) to hit those clocks. I know the core is good for 1220 and memory for just shy of 1600mhz but the voltage required for that is simply silly. These days I run 1200 core/1375 memory because that requires "only" +140mv.
Plus I don't use the likes of furmarks to stress test as it - along wiht some of those kombustor tests - are just heat tests that are unrealistic.
Pic is an older run I did just to test for stability - I was not aiming to get sensible fps.

Asus R9 390X DirectCU II idling at 45-50 going to 85 under load, if I take the front panel off it goes under 80c.
>>52036029
when i fold on this card my temps get to around 74c.... with the fans at 1000 RPM's. Overclocked to 1401 on the core fgts try harder.
>>52036536
Do you even have an intake fan?
>>52036534
My memory sadly doesn't like to go much over 1525 or so. I might try to push the core a bit further, as it can already hit 1150 on +30mv...
>>52036568
To be fair memory overclocks aren't worth it on hawaii - the bandwidth is so high you see very little performance increase. I go to 1375 as it gives me a minor performance boost and is effectively free as far as power draw and temps go.
I know a feel similar to that but mine is from a shitter 4 year old prebuild because I was retarded and it's starting to give me overheating problems now (as in dota 2 crashing my computer from overheating GPU)
would getting a not shitty card fix my problems? all my other parts are perfectly cool
>>52036611
Yeah, that 512bit bus is pretty insane by itself, and at a stock speed of 1400MHz for the memory on my my Vapor-X I'm not really lacking bandwidth. The chips are rated for 1500MHz though, so I might as well run them at that.
>>52036622
Depending on how excessive temps are an agressive fan curve will go a long way. However if your gpu is 5 years old you might want to rip the cooler off and replace the thermal paste - its probably dried up by now.
>>52036637
Not all hawaii memory chips to go 1500mhz. I forget the order of best to worst ram for overclocking, but its samsung > all others (which is why the lightning has samsung ram iirc).
>>52036659
I've got 1500MHz-rated Hynix chips on my Vapor-X.
I have a powercolor r9 290 and 390 both PCS+models. The 290 (with raijintek morpheous) will do 1250/1500 at 1.3v (+200mv). Temps only get to 68C with dual CM jetflo fans. Using a mini 4 pin to dual 4 pin PWM splitter to power the fans off the gpu board.
My r9 390 overclocks core way worse even at +200mv. 1010mhz stock and I cam only get 1130mhz with +200mv. Memory runs like a raped ape though. If I keep the core stock, bump voltage by +100mv, I can get 1700mhz stable on memory.
>>52036659
>agressive fan curve
I don't know why I never thought of this
I may be retarded
there's really only 4 temperatures I need to watch: 50-60 (idle) 60-65 (doing things on firefox) and 65+ (bideo games) and also 75+ (dota, aka crashing temperatures)
this should be good, right?

O
L
>>52036564
No because it would just draw the hot air back in. The CPU cooler blows out from the front, because it doesn't fit elsewhere. That air is reflected to the front panel, and if I install an intake fan below it, it'll just recirculate the hot air coming out of the CPU cooler.
Basically the case isn't a very good design for liquid cooling.
>>52036772
The only temp that matters is maximum load - you need that to be as low as possible. That fan curve should help immensely but I do suggest pulling the card apart and reapplying thermal paste - that could easily (not its not a sure thing mind) a 10c drop in temperature.
No card should be heating up as much as yours does for dota 2 so chances are its the thermal paste causing it.
>>52032676
What does it idle at? I have the exact same one and it idles at 38c and gets up to 87c. I got a limiter to set it to 80c limit.
Feels good man.
>>52036995
Yea, I wouldn't doubt it's the thermal paste, honestly, I should probably fix that soon
thanks for the help, senpai
I appreciate it
>>52023884
I have a 7950 and I get an idle team of 59 because my case fans gave out this week. I get a max load temp of 69 which is fine. If you're getting 62 on idle you got shitty air flow of your computer is placed under a desk post your guts.

>>52037384
Turning in/iff the same setting I used ti overclock my r9 290, the 390 falls on its face in benchmarks. Heaven, valley, etc I get artifacts or just atraight up driver crashes that requires a full system hard boot. Juat unlucky with the binning is all. My 290 was able to 1100mhz on core at stock voltage where as my 390 need +100mv to do the same. Just run of the mill luck.
The other thing to consider though is 390s come out of the box wirh dastwr memory than 290s. 1350mhz stock 290 compared to 1500mhz stock 390, so that could be a factor.
Meh im fine with it. My 390 idles at 30C in a no airflow R5 case and peaks at 65C while benching so Im happy. Bext card I get though will be the super ultra omega dragon dildo overclocking version though to satisfy my e-peen.

Temperature means nothing, turn off the fans on even a 100w card and it's going to hit it's thermal limit and shut off.
Efficiency is calculated by how much performance you get for how much power you draw (fps per watt if you will). I don't know nor care enough to check if the 980 is indeed more efficient, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.
>>52040283

In some games, yes. Just because a game supports SSAA doesn't mean you should turn it on.
Pic is max settings - knock it down to high (which mainly means not using 8xmsaa) and 50fps is entirelyt doable.
