it has been 3 months with this card and I have been noticing that idle temperature is at the 60 Celsius. During load on GPU heavy games I get near 80 Celsius but never go past 81 Celsius. Could this be a bad thermal paste in my card, my brother whom has a similar card MSI R9 390X Lite version gets around 35-43 celsius during idle. Could our temps be different because of the oc vs lite version or could it be what I said about bad thermal paste. I have Artic thermal paste if it is the problem. I just wanted to ask to be sure since I do not want my card to heat up so much in just Idle. also around 60 Celsius the fans start and go around 10% fan speed. when it goes at 57 Celsius the fans stop. During gaming the fans go from 60 - 80% fan speed
MSI R9 390X Gaming Edition Idle temps of 60-62 Celsius?

maybe fan profiles check for the amd driver hot fix

also your card may have the -0- fan and don't come on intill around 60c ??
''Idle fan noise is fantastic as the card completely turns its fans off in idle (up to 60°C).''

I have Crimson Driver 15.12 so it should have been fixed. 1 thing I have seen is that my memory clock is maxed at 1500MHz at 120-144hz monitor, at 60 hz my memory clock will stay idle. As of now I have no issues with the card but I feel that idle temp is way too high. And yes my card is built to start fans at 60 celsius, is there any way to remove that to keep the fan on, I forget the program I had for my older card

I assume you could use something like afterburner and set your own personal fan profiles ?? I do know NVidia had this issue with 144hz monitors but your the first I noticed with a AMD card doing it ??

''If you have a 144Hz monitor or a second monitor the memory will stay up. I have a 144Hz main display and a 60Hz secondary display. Memory clock of my 290 is always at 1300 with both of my displays hooked up. When I unplug the 144Hz screen it drops significantly''

Yah I might have to set my own fan speeds, im sick of the whole 0% fan speed until 60 Celsius I might just have it during low gpu usage to 15-20% fan speed to keep it steady 40 celsius. I will be sending AMD a report about the high memory clock it could be something from crimson drivers

I don't get it my self as well ?? its not like I got enough heat building up in my case as it is [lol]

that's right I pointed that out in my first reply .. to me I rather have the fans spin up at least enough to keep idle temps like 30c or so then rev up as the card heats up [like it use to be ] ?? , but that's just me I guess
anyway good luck

looking here I guess you got 3 settings to use ??
OC Mode
Maximum Performance through higher clock speeds and increased fan performance
Gaming Mode (Default)
The best balance between in-game performance and thermal
Silent Mode
The best environment for minimal fan noise

don't know if theres a switch on the card or needs that app? looks like get and try that app out and see
