Oh sorry...
I ran Furmark (8xMSAA 1080p, got 18 fps), and with or without undervolting or underclocking, it always ends up at 94°. The difference is how long that takes...
I'm gonna try the bottom fan, but if nothing works I'll have to leave it that way.
At 94° the core clock (initially 977) mainly fluctuates between 950-965 so even if that's throttling it's not too bad right ?

Update : I tried running furmark with the side panel removed. It stabilizes at 90 degrees with no undervolting or custom fan settings. I also noticed something that I think is interesting... The hot air seems to be coming out directly towards the side panel, while the air in front of the fans is normal... It's coming out from the gpu level and slightly above that, but not in front of the cpu so my guess is the gpu's causing it... What do you think ?

I'd say mid-range, but unsure as to what this has to do with

Ok , I will tell you but first tell me why my pieces of PC have only mid agreement among ?

hello evryone I also recently purchased the same gpu
i am also facing exact same problem.
gpu temp goes to 94 c and it underclock itself.
pls some one suggest me what to do beside the thermal paste becuase i am no pro in this area.
should i rma it??
thanks in advance

is it shutdowning? if not , amd like it hot.
clearly those gpu stay pretty hot
remind me of my last amd card (3870x2)
was f**kin hot, and it probably that wat killed my card (after 3years.)

I have a crossfire of R9 280X Toxic removes heat laterally as your MSI. that's why I changed my breakdown as follows:



I have placed 2x140mm Akasa (110cfm) in lateral extractor for reduce actively heat in load.

7 fans in admission + 2 fans in extractor ;)

edit : With Speedfan 2x140mm akasa start only when my graphics card exceed 48°C ^^
edit²: i have 12 fans in totally. i have air flow box bellow my case (see: this link)

94deg is the peak for the card, It will run stable at that temperature.

However while it will run it will also throttle down. So your aim is to get the temps below that while still maintaining peak loads so you get the most from the gpu.

I get worried by temps over 70 deg on a similar card but then I have 2 x 140mm fans blowing directly onto my gpu..

These cards do run hot, And you can't get a waterblock for that gpu either:( You can thank msi for using massive caps on that card for that one.

If your cards extract heat lateraly : Don't blow on the gpu !
-> You must extract heat lateraly for help gpu to extract heat.
If your cards extract heat by rear : you can blow on the gpu .
-> You must bring fresh air lateraly for help gpu to extract heat by rear

I have a friend who has a "Sapphire R9 290x" first generation that does not exceed 66°C in accordance with that.
My Crossfire 280X Tri-X OC extract lateraly as MSI card in photo in first post. In accordance with that i can't exceed 65/70°C with first gpu and 55/60°C with the second gpu.

Avoid obstacles and deductions for good air circulation in the box to ventilate each component at best. When you bring fresh air to a card that extracts laterally you do not cool your gpu. You create a pocket of warm air into the case.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
You should buy core i7 Cpu to fix your problem , because your Gpu is too heavy for cor i5 , so the Gpu was tiring because it was waiting too much while the information arrived from Cpu ( weak ) to Gpu ( strong )

Ok , l will agree with you just a moment ..... I have the Card that you can see in my profile picture ( gtx 760 2gb ) with i5 3470 and 8 gb of Ram , now tell me what is the range of agreement between my pieces , then i will talk again with you
No... just, no. Wow. I think there is a language gap here friend... your second post makes even less sense than the first. Quit while you are ahead... go into learning mode for a while.

@ OP - Mess with the manual fan profiles and see if that helps.

Do you know the exact CFM for each of your fan ?
< 80 CFM = bad choice (Especially! for admissions (intake))
> 80 CFM = good & best choice ;) (for all fans)

ps: Use Speedfan to increase lateral ventilation only when the video cards are LOAD;)

ps²: Avoid fans TOO Silent. Prefer performance fans for controlling via Speedfan software ;)

All of the 140s are 86cfm and the 230s are 156cfm.

I place a fan on top of the card to cool the back of the fan but as you have a backplate on that card and check for any thing on the circuit not to high it should be able to get the heat away from the PCB as it can get really hot.

IF like in my case and there is no backplate you can place the fan one direction and that would be blowing air towards the card.

What probably is not helping here is that you have a stock intel cooler as with most 3rd party cpu coolers they would be pushing the heat to the back case fan how ever it can be a pain to place a fan on top on the card.

Another issue why heat will not be escaping is the case as the rear grill on the case needs cutting out as that be blocking 50% or even more air flow leaving the case which equals less less output.

The air intake should be greater than the output. That's why usually the extractor fans from the rear are 120mm. We need to create an air flow which is fluid. with a minimum restraint to prevent the hot air from retain inside.

My drawings (pictured here) we do not see the cpu watercooling Corsair H110 cooler. My scenario to take in air from the rear is beneficial.
In the case of air cooling for the CPU, if the extractor side then that's good too.

Extractor from the top need not turn very fast. Since heat go up in all cases.

Make your diagrams a box in 3D with the direction in / out of your fans.
It's simpler and written expression or where poor understanding may appear.

Fella don't worry about your temp, this is fine, and please tell me what resolution on your screen ?
I remember when I got msi r9 290 ref, temp was about 80-90C next couple weeks I setup liquid cooling, temps drop idle 36-40C playing games never reach 60C

best what u can do get better cooling in your case, to help cooldown gpu. and like some1 says can try change thermal paste, help to drop temp.

Yes! but it voids the warranty to disassemble original cooling.

By the way did you news about HG10 by Corsair?

i don't need more cooling on mine as my temps are good :).

Removing the rear mesh part would allow greater air flow out of the case and allowing the fan to actually run slower as it be running more efficiently.

I have a old old TT case which allows 3 120mm front fans and 120 and 90mm rear fans which allows good pressure and removing the mesh for the rear always helps a case to extract air from the case as whats the point if the mesh is blocking 50% of output as that will just make you need more fan speed.

After 24 years working with PC's i know how to cool a PC.. Maybe you misunderstood what i was getting at but shit happens and even more happens on forums lol.

I do not put your skills into question; it is not I who am barking lol i'm computer technician in too;) I specialize in AMD hardware (and not using Intel) then I only help what I know.

There are some years I was maintaining Commodore Amiga;) since I played with my time)

I do not claim to know everything but what I am aware of is a result of personal experiences and different experiences as the heat in a computer is not very good;)

I bring my help, my contribution and it's volunteer; I do not make advertising for my business. You learn something every day; I learn about the pieces I sell to be able to provide rapid and effective assistance to my clients; avoiding mistakes in judgment that also translates to them as useless spending.

And not in my native language ^^

What is unfortunate is that the author of a message here, and joined by messages from people who have other problems with the same type of material.
So, instead of providing assistance on a case by case you end up having to answer 3 or 4 people with different problems.
That's why I come here not very often.

I began to meet with someone who has a video card that extracts heat laterally. And I continue the dialogue with someone who has a vapor-X (which extracts heat laterally too) but not for the same configuration of fans. it's not easy ...
