Hey!
I just got my hands on an old, reference R9 290X:
→ put it system
→ DDU
→ new drivers
→ working okayish
Problems:
→ very high temperatures (no problem reaching >90 °C)
→ loud as hell
Fixes:
→ took cooler off, new thermal paste (ArcticCooling MX-2) etc.
→ undervolt 125 mV (core)
→ core clock down by 50 MHz
Results:
→ temperatures go up to 90 °C
→ much quieter but still a bit too loud
Sooo... I'm using the GPU on a 1080p 60 Hz panel and it does great, I mean, max it all out, still 60 FPS, even with the undervolt and underclock.
1. Should I just clock it down and undervolt it a bit more, to get a few extra degrees? Since I'm getting stable 60 FPS everywhere and have them capped, shouldn't be a problem, right?
2. Maybe even try flashing a reference R9 290 BIOS (yes, I've done things like this before)?
3. What do you think I should do, to lower temperatures?
My settings:
