Hello, I have a Radeon R9 290 and the temperatures seem really high. I am running 85 degrees C on load and 40 degrees C on idle. Should I turn on the fan speed or are these temperatures normal for this video card?

well..95'c is considered normal for this graphic card..
so, at 85'c, it's okay..
this card is hot and designed to run hot..

but if you're not comfortable with the heat, i suggest you to buy 3rd party cooling..
for example artic cooling accelero Xtreme III.

this cooling will make your gpu core temp at most 50'c at overclocked condition..:D

well, toms already review it..you can read here..=> http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/r9-290-accelero-xtreme-290,3671.html
