Hello, I am new to PC gaming but after watching some tutorials i decided to do some overclocking on my reference R9 270 using MSI afterburner... after watching a video from LinusTechTips about the card (although fair enough they where using a card with an aftermarket cooler, msi i think) I just cranked all the sliders to the right, that is power limit, core clock and memory clock, and that was that and i saw small improvement in performance.
I've been running my card like this for 3 days, so yesterday left msi afterburner open while playing a session of XCOM 2, i wanted to see if my A8 7600 was bottlenecking the R9 270, but what i noticed was that the GPU was running at 90° C, it even got to 92°C at one point.
Is 90° C too hot?? or i can keep gaming like this? if it is too hot... how should i cool down my card?? i am currently using a midtower case with only 2 80mm fans (1 front intake, 1 rear exhaust). I am planning on getting a Corsair Spec 03 case a couple weeks from now, i soupouse that should help since it comes with three 120mm fans.
So what do you think? can i leave it running at 90°C for a couple weeks until i get the new case? or should undo the overclocking until i can achieve lower temps?? if so, what would be the safe enough temp?
