Hi guys i got r9 280 dual x but one fan is unpluged because is broken. Can I still play games like Pubg and Me:A on 1 fan? I opened the case a little bit for better air flow i got 75° C on full load. I have bougth new fans from ebay but it will take some time maybe even 1 month.
For now oc only on 1000mhz core 1350mem +20power fan speed 65% waiting for second one to clock it more.
 
Solution
Remove the damaged fan and temporarily ziptie a case cooling fan in its place as a temporary cooling solution. When you finally receive your replacement fans then just remove the old remaining fan and ziptied fan and put the new ones in.
