I have a second hand MSI Radeon R9 290,
when playing graphic intensive games my GPU reaches up to 94 degrees Celsius.
when my GPU is in idle state its at a steady 59-60.

Is this normal?

Room temps are about 22,
I have two intake fans on the side panel and one other intake at the front also a exhaust fan at the back.

I have a mid-tower case, here is a link below that shows what case I am using.

Well that explains it then, the reference coolers for the R9 290(X) cards are just horrible, here are some benchmarks: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/radeon_r9_290_review_benchmarks,11.html

I don't really care about noise my CPU cooler over runs the GPU noise so I cant really hear it.

Thanks for the expert help as I am new to building pc's!
