how to disable overclock in asus r9 280 dc top ?

Let me get this straight, do you want to disable the factory overclock that Asus have put on the card? Or has someone else overclocked it further and you want to revert to the Asus factory settings?
Either way you can use AMD overdrive in the catalyst control centre to tweak GPU clocks. But, if it's running at the speed you got it from Asus, you should really leave it there. It has a warranty to run at the advertised speeds and that ASUS top range is created with binned (specially picked) processors which they are confident will run at the advertised speeds.

If you have just bought the ASUS DC Top card and are running it as ASUS shipped it from the factory, you're fine.
Not all chips are created equal, some are able to run high frequencies without excessive power draw, while other chips from the same batch might run hotter and/or require higher voltages to achieve the same frequency. Basically when a AMD or Nvidia release GPUs they decide on a "stock" frequency based on the competition they're facing and how many chips they're prepared to throw away or re-purpose. Setting a higher 'stock' frequency will give the cards better performance, but fewer chips are going to make grade.
Companies like ASUS then come along and buy a whole bunch of chips. They test them and put the best ones in premium products (like your DC top), with the lesser chips going into lower tier parts.
Personally, I trust ASUS to not provide you with a GPU that's running so close to its limit that it's likely to die prematurely. If you're serious about making your GPU last as long as possible, I'd do some googling on lowering the voltage, as I understand it, it tends to be high voltages that limit a product's life. Still, I think you're worrying too much. Starting to mess with frequencies and voltages when you don't fully understand what you're doing is a recipe for trouble. I'd trust the Asus engineers!

coz when i just play music or movie bluray one's . not sure but asus r9 280 dc2t goes from 300Mhz to 980Mhz all of a sudden and then drops down gradually. it happend even when i just played music , but temperature remaind 37-40C since it was morning . i really donno what is the average temperature for both gpu and cpu to keep running. mine always stays 40 -50C . not sure if this is good temp as i read others blog they all are running at temp between 20-40C when they do normal usage. please tell me what is wrong here
Nothing's wrong there, that's exactly as suspected. GPU will clock down when not in use and pop up as soon as it's needed. Any blu-ray quality player will utilise hardware decode features will will make the GPU ramp up a little. As long as your temps are staying under 70-80 you're fine. 50 is not a problem in the slightest.
