Hi everyone,
Recently I RMA'd my XFX 7970 DD due to freezing problem, XFX gave me a brand new r9 280x DD. There are some problem like flickering and artifact which is caused by the low memory clock, which is easily fixed by forcing the memory clock to be constant at 1500Mhz. However, under Furmark burn in test, I found that the VRM temperature would shoot up to 103°C under 5 minutes, even after I forced the fan to run at 100% through Afterburner. Here I attach the screen shot of the Furmark test. It reached 101°C in just under 5 minutes.
Is this normal for 280x? should I RMA this card as well?
Thank you very much for your attention.
