Hello! I just got an XFX R9 280 and I noticed the idle temperature was sitting around 45°C at 20% fan speed, is this normal?

At 60% fan speed the temperature is 40°C

More about : 280 idle temperature 45c

set the fan speed at auto when u are not gaming and set it to 80 % when u are gaming ...40c is a normal temp for the gpu..... amd gpu runs usually hotter than the nvidia but the temperature also depends upon the airflow in the cabinet and the ambient room temperature...

My card temp maxes at 70C and idles at 35C.
For an AMD card it should idle at a slightly higher temp just fine, they're made to withstand their own heat.
