Hi ! i got a Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 280X Vapor-x Tri-x OC 3gb video card .. here are the temps-
Room Temp - 42-46Celcius ( NewDelhi,INDIA) TOO HOT!!
GPU(idle) - 39-44Celcius
GPU(70to80% load)- 60to75Celcius

I want to know that these temps are ok for my gpu ? if yes can i oc it?? and im going to get a new Air Conditioner and run it at 16to18C while gaming will it cause any temp drop??

hello Anurag,

Yes, those temps are just fine, the GPU can work at 90ºC just fine, so anything below it is completely ok.

Besides, Radeon GPU's tend to run rather hot anyway. Oh, and when my ATI 4650's fan stopped working, the card worked full time at 100ºC! It still works perfectly when I try it on my computer.

And yes, a drop in the room temperature will surely help to cool down the card.

Yes, you can try to OC and try to make 90ºC the maximum temperature, anything over that is not good for the card's life expectancy.

You can download MSI Afterburner and do increments of 5 mhz to core clock and memory clock. To see if the system is stable, get furmark, or some other testing program. If the system manages to pass the test, increase another 5 mhz.

Do this over and over until the system fails on the stress test, when that happens, decrease by 1 mhz, to discover the sweet spot.

Tell me how it goes!
