I have overclocked my R9 280 (non-x) to 1100 core clock and 1400 memory clock. Core temps seem to be fine, never exceed 73C, but I can't seem to check my VRM temps.

Both HWmonitor and GPU-Z is not showing the information. Is this because the R9 280 (non-x) doesn't have a sensor on the VRM?? Should I attempt pushing my overclock further, or wait until I find a way to check VRM temps?

NOTE: Voltage is locked on this GPU, I can't change it in Afterburner. Is this why they have not put a sensor on the VRM? Since I won't be changing the voltage, I guess the VRM temps shouldn't change much?

Sorry, I took the GPU-Z screenshot after everything cooled down, but you can see the lack of a VRM sensor.

Does it work and not crash? congrats you are done...


Does it crash? reduced voltage and clocks

Well no crashes or artifacts, but running the VRMs at high temperatures for long periods might damage the card, or at least reduce the life of it...
