....turn the gpu fan up, and make sure case ventilation is adequate. 56% fan speed, crank it up to 75% manually if youre that concerned. if it was really an issue to the card, the game would have artifacted/crashed.

I think AMD says 105c is the max for vrm. You need to turn the fan speed up. if you can RMA, ask for a Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X. its worth a shot

I have Thermaltake Overseer RX-I Full Tower Case with Front/Back/Down fans (set to max speed) when gaming, also using H100i for the CPU

Review # "We noticed a readout at 119c when running Furmark. We never include Furmark results as ‘real world’ indicators however and when gaming this temperature dropped to 110c.
We spoke to ASUS about this just before going to publication and their engineering team said that the placement of the VRM sensor is in a different location on their 290′s, but the VRM’s are being cooled well within specifications." Its a faulty readout, not overheating.

I don't buy this sh*t

i need to automate the fan speed, do you guys have a guidance post how to edit the GPU BIOS settings to speed up the fans with specific heat levels.

AznGOD :

I'm not sure how that would work. The RMA would be going through Asus. How is Asus going to send back a Sapphire card?
