Hey guys, first time posting here
My XFX 7950 DD has been hitting temperatures of around 75-80°C in gaming (sometimes more - SR4 for example) and temps touching 90°C on Furmark before I switched it off.
The fans never seem to go much past 40%, but if I set them to 60% in MSI Afterburner it reduces the temperatures to around 60-65°C.
It idles at anywhere between 30-40°C.
I've tried it in both PCI-E slots as I thought my WiFi card could be blocking airflow somewhat, but it hasn't made much of a difference (if any at all).
Is this normal for this card? I've heard people say the DD cooler isn't very good but I'm wondering if I should return it? The card is only a few weeks old.
The core clock is at 925MHz according to MSI Afterburner.
Thanks for your help.
