Are you sure its 125c? What 290 is it? Many VRM's are rated to 115c and since yours is running at exactly 115c it may be throttling as to not go above that temp. Do you see a drop in core clocks as the card starts to heat up?

it's an XFX founders r9 290. I invested in case fans and it dropped to 102C so I think that is fine
