I've had this XFX radeon r7 370 double dissipation for 2 years. I just used MSI Afterburner software to monitor my GPU's temperatures.
The card idles at 40 degrees Celsius. However when I stressed with Unigine Heaven at extreme at 1080p, its temperature slowly went up to 98 degrees, and it stayed a consistent 98 degrees for a long time before I decided to quit. I tried at 1600x900 and it still went up to 95 before I decided to quit. I also tried out CS:GO and it make it goes up to ~90 and reached a peak of 93.
The card is supposed have a base clock of 995 MHz but when it reaches 85 degrees it downclocks to 875 MHz. And I was thinking about overclocking this.
I read online that people get higher idle temps than me but lower load temps. (One guy got 55 and 85 respectively.) Apart from having a dusty PC, what else could cause these high load temps?
