Hi,

I recently got this card and I am having problems with idle temps. I am running Windows 10 without MSI Afterburner. Idle temps are 54 degrees, while the CPU idles at around 30 degrees. I did benchmark it via FurMark, as well as Tomb Raider and temps stayed at 64 degrees without going higher.

So my question is, should I be worried about the idle temp? I am more than pleased with the gaming/load temps.

I am running Crimson 16.3.1, also running at 144Hz.

Thanks guys. :)

Turns out refresh rate has a influence on the temps. When running at 60Hz the temps are more than fine, but when setting it back to 144Hz the temps go high.

Also, tested BF4 and gaming temps were near 90 degrees.
