Hey guys,
My R9 290 is running at 94C which is insanely hot imo but apparently it's a hot card according to reviews and such that I've read. I'm wondering if upgrading to a EVGA GTX 1080 Hybrid would keep the temperature down to around 60-70C?
These are all the current parts that I have and the GPU that I want to upgrade it to. I have a top and back fan for exhaust and I bought two Corsair AF120 Quiet Performance for intake in the front but it didn't do much. Would replacing my card help? Cause I feel like it's melting other components in my computer right now if I keep letting it heat like this. Airflow in it doesn't seem to be the greatest and my room gets really hot (upwards to 26).
