Hey everyone, I quite recently purchased 2 R9 270X's and put them in crossfire, they are both running at X8 mode, with a 750W PSU; and I'm slightly worried about the temps/cooling.
When Idling the cards start out at around 30°c, and then it begins to climb; the highest I've seen while monitoring at idle is 49°c. I ran ungine valley for around 30 minutes the other day to test out load temps and stability, and when I ran that it just kept climbing until it reached 76°c; if I left it on it would have kept on rising. At Christmas I'm switching back to a single card configuration with a single 780ti, however I'm selling the 2 270X's to 2 of my friends to get half of the money; so I really need to keep them running well. I know these cards can keep on running up into the high 90's but I want to keep them as cool as possible.
I'm going to do some tests tonight with some actual games, but if anyone could give me any insight into the temps I should be getting; that would be really helpful.
