So I recently purchased the above mentioned card, by XFX. Running BF4 my Temps exceeded 90c. It was running mid to high 70's in Skyrim and pretty much everything else. The fans didn't exceed 2400 RPMs during the BF4 session ethier. It's not OC, non of my stuff is. I downloaded MSI after burner and manually set my fan speeds on it to 100%, and within a min or two I could smell the fan motor (I'm guessing) plasticky burning smell, which was done at idle. I have read that the R9 series has had some poor build quality, with the thermal compound and such, wondering if I should RMA this and get a 760...
