I just installed these today they're non reference gaming versions. The top card always gets up to 95c and starts to throttle, even at 100%. This is bloody ridiculous. They even have and 1.3 inch(ish) each to breathe.
So far I've tried switching the GPUs no results, made a custom fan profile via afterburner basically 100% fan at 70+ still 94c. I'm honestly sad, I've spent 900+$ for a card that throttles at 95c on stock clocks. It's ridiculous, first I got a crappy motherboard and next crappy cards. Even after disabling crossfire, top card still gets up to 90c (I didn't remove the second card, just disabled).
THERE'S A REASON I DIDN'T GO WITH REFERENCE DESIGN!
Any help would be appreciated.
