Hi guys,

I've picked up a couple of R9 270x hawk cards that I'm running in crossfire, I'm a little worried that the top card has hit 100c in stress testing but the bottom stayed around 50c.
Ive now swapped them around so the hotter is on the bottom and it's still being the hottest so i set up a custom fan profile. im currently running catzilla with the highest settings on loop and the bottom card is peaking at 72c and the top card 61c but if I turn of the custom fan profile and run auto they peak at 80c for bottom card and 76c for the top, they are running stock settings no over clock or voltage. Do I need to RMA the hot card?

Regards
Sean

then i would sell the two cards you have and buy a better single gpu from a better retailer because if the card isnt capable of working at peak performance and they wount replace it they dont deserve your money

Well 100 C is very very hot, while 70-75 C is okay, but my overclocked cards to 1175/1600 (r9 270 MSI) never pass 67 C top and 59 C bottom one.
Do you have good airflow into your case? :)

Thanks for replying, I think I have good air flow. I have two fans in the side, bottom is in and top is exhaust, one fan in the top which is exhaust, two fans on the rear that both are in and a radiator with two fans in my CD Bay that exhaust

i took the hotter card back to the retailer for RMA and they reported it hit 94c under testing but that it isnt overheating/faulty i dont think the air flow in my case is that far out, i have an i7 2600k overclocked to 4.5Ghz and under load it never exceeds 65c

As stated it can't be airflow as the card has been tested by the retailer and hit 94c
