Hey all,
I just recently bought a R9 280X, I don't mine coin, or do anything over stressing to it other than playing ArmA 3 on high settings, but even in the lobby screen of ArmA 3, it spikes up to 91c, it stays pretty damned high while playing too, ranging from 76-91c, and when I am out of game, it stabilizes at 56c, rarely ever goes below that.
The ambient temperatures of my computer at the time are pretty different than the video cards temps, ranging from a min of 32c min to 57c max, I do run 2 monitors, but only use one to play games, the other is just a basic browsing monitor, and I maintain proper airflow, I have a PCI fan, 3 active case fans, and a h60 hybrid water cooler for the processor, I have not really adjusted anything for it in the bios or ccc, as I don't know what to really adjust in the first place if I need to at all.
Is this card defective? I bought it as a discounted purchase when I exchanged my standard R9 280 because the rear ports gave out, they had the one I have now as a returned purchase but they apparently tested it to make sure everything was okay with it. I can easily go exchange it for another, but I would love some input regarding these temperatures. I haven't really had any issues with performance, or any noticable artifacting, but at the temps the card is getting, I feel it is already accelerating the age.
