Hello. i recently bought an XFX R9 290 DD Black Edition, the core temps seem fine but VRM temps go upto 90 degrees in GPU-z in games kinda makes me worried, is this safe or should i return the card?

If you can get your hands on a sapphire 290 trixx, I would return the card and go for the sapphire.

i just bought one, and im getting 82°-86° celcius. check the airflow and the card config, and check the drivers, they are giving a lot of trouble, i think beta drivers are working fine, i should try them.

PD: i think its not worth getting a tri-X if u already have this one, also it looks soooo cool

XFX is famous for high VRM temps. But 90c is tolerable.

If it gets to 100c then get worried
