Hey everyone,
I have an R9 280 Royalking from Club3D, and i have overclocked the card to 1155 mhz core clock, 1263 mV and 1575 mhz Memory clock. The fan is running at 80%, rpm is about 3200. Idling i get anywhere from 24 to 36 c temps. Under load my temps are 50-63 c. The problem is that whenever i touch the GPU heatpipes when playing a game they feel awfully hot. Like really hot. If i put my finger on it for longer than 3-5 seconds it actually starts to hurt. GPU-Z is reporting the same temps. Anyways, today when playing the card throttled down to a whopping 300 mhz core clock. So something is wrong if the readings say that the GPU is at 50-60 c. I have never heard of throttling under 80c. I suspect that the thermometer in the GPU has gone bad. What do you guys think is going on? Is/are the heatsink/heatpipes supposed to feel this hot at 50-60 c?
