To be honest, not sure what I am really doing here in CCC, but one thing I know for sure is that my 2 monitor setup with a R9 390 gets a bit warm at 60C when I am simply browsing the internet, the fact I am using 2 monitors jump my memory clocks to 1500 Mhz and it warms very simple.
I do know if I lower the memory clocks to say... 600 Mhz, both monitors work great, and the temps even go down... Now if that was the case AMD should have just made it that way and all would be happy, but that may not be the case.
Could lowering the clock speeds, and leaving everything else the same damage the card?
I also dont know how voltages come into to play here.
EDIT: my 15 minute test of lowing my Memory clock to 650 Mhz down from 1500 Mhz has resulted in 60C temps once again, so I may have answered my own question...
