So for the past three hours I was running (and totally forgot about) a high stress program that put a load on my gpu (R9 290). It was hitting temps of 95C and thermal throttling. My application didn't crash and I have activated my MSI Afterburner to cool it down to reasonable levels. Is there a way to make sure I didn't damage my card / help my card recover from the heat?
 
Solution
It did not get damaged, it is engineered to thermal throttle to protect itself! Game on it and if damaged you would know straight away.
