Yes its normal for this type of cooler to get up to 95C. The reference design cooler with R9 290 is terrible.
Other than replacing the cooler with a more efficient cooler, you could run the fans to 100% speed but that will lower the fans lifespan.

If it goes to 180C then that is an issue. If it is under 95C, it is within AMD's "safe" temps. No they won't recall these products as now they are less likely to be sold. most people will go for the non-reference cooler since they cool better. Example is the R9 290 Trix cooler or Gigabyte Windforce cooler.
What's a good option of a cooler for my graphics card from "hell".. lolTRENDING THREADS
