MSI R9 390X temperatures

[alphadogg]

hello,
i recently bought a MSI R9 390X, the problem i am facing is when i play games maxed out, like witcher 3 the card runs around 83-85c . i tried running MSI kombustor for 10mins the temperature reached 94c. are these temperatures normal for this card?
my case hase has 2 intake and 1 exhaust fans.
thanks.

Nope, anything above 85c isn't normal and shouldn't be running for too long.
I'd contact MSI for replacement.

i get a max temperature of 83c for witcher 3...and this a radeon we are talking about. could it be case airflow issues?

I'd add more case fans. The temps on my msi r9 390x were reaching up to the 90's also. (However this was with a 100mhz overclock at 1150mhz and 1700 mhz on memory)

I added 3 case fans and my temps dropped down to 76. So it sounds like a case flow issue.

And please don't use msi kombustor. It's probably the worst out there. Use firestrike or a similar tool. Kombustor places unrealistic strains on the gpu.

And I used to get in the 80's also for the witcher 3. So that's about normal. Just add some case fans and you should see your temps drop dramatically.

If after you add fans and you still don't see a drop then contact msi for the replacement.

This is also my problem. I'm playing the Division on ultra settings and I got 91C. I have 1 rear exhaust fan and 1 topside exhaust fan with a radiator for my cpu. For my intake, I have a fan in front of the case. I already ordered an exhaust fan to be added beside my topside fan (with radiator) and a 200mm fan for the intake in front of the case.

Would these fans help?

imo, yes, it will help. in my 410, i have 3 intake and 3 exhaust.
