OC'ed my XFX r9 380 2GB, temps good while gaming?

[YOMAN282]

Hello,

Overclocked the card in the title from 1030MHz core to 1080 and Memory from 1450 to 1550MHz to squezee a little bit more out of it, temps while idle are 35-40C and while gaming reaches max 83C but it's usually around 80-82C when playing more graphically intensive games. I was monitoring temps before OC and this small overclock added 1 to 2C, should I keep it or revert back to stock? I don't want to damage anything since it's my first time overclocking .

Thanks!

That should be fine. Although if it were me I would make a custom fan profile to allow the fans to ramp up higher and keep the card a bit cooler, im sure it could do mid 70s or lower with a higher fan speed. Not sure what software you are using to overclock but msi afterburner has good gpu fan control software built in.

Yes I am using MSI Afterburner, how much should I raise the fan % when it reaches 80c? Currently it's set that they work at 80% speed when GPU reaches 80C.

Oh that is already going a bit high. Try 100% if it doesn't sound like turbine engine at that speed, if it does you can leave it at 80%. Your temps are fine, within spec for your gpu. In my opinion its not worth removing the overclock just so it runs 2c cooler.

Okay, thank you!
