Hi everyone,
I recently bought an Asus R9 290 DC2OC which has their custom pcb and cooler, and tried overclocking it with disappointing results. At factory clocks, which are 1000mhz on the core and 1260mhz on the memory (Or 5040mhz effective), the card runs fine. I overclocked it to 1100mhz on the core, kept the same memory speed, and increased power target to 150%. I also upped the voltage by 30mV. The result is that after about 4-6 seconds, in which it reaches above 70c in Unigine Valley with ultra settings, it throttles down to lower than 900 mhz on core.
Any suggestions? Is there something I'm doing incorrectly?
