I read in a lot of comments online that the R9 290X was designed to run at 95 degrees. Does this mean the r9 290x is 95 degrees by default or only when overclocked?

It means the gpu won't kill itself even when kept at such high temperature. The stock cooler is very loud if the fan speed isn't limited at some sane level, but this has a negative effect on the cooling performance so the gpu heats up. Once the gpu hits the 94-95C mark it will start to throttle down the clocks to try and stay at that tempereture.
