Overheating graphics card??

[tometom]

Ok i just got the gygabyte version of the 390.
All nice and dandy until I go to msi afterburner and look at the temps.
I know amd graphics are hot as f*** but i read some reviews and it looked like this was the expection to the rule.
But 92ºC is a little bit much isn't it.
Im using msi afterburner to create a fan curve that starts at 40ºC at 45% and it's basicly a straight line from there.
Do I need to buy a new case, if so please suggest me the cheapest alternative with the most airflow

what case do you have? can you take a picture with the side off and explain the fan flow? A good airflow setup can drastically change temps

Cheapest solutions to cool down is using open case
I also running open case, because in summer I can encounter 30C ~87F ambient temps :/

That temp is very high. You will either need to upgrade the cooling system, fans, maybe case or thermal paste.

Well I'm using my pc case that came with a pre-built.
The air of the graphics card is going against the bottom plate which has no vents. So I think the air is being pulled against the back of the case.
I have only 1 fan and it's on the back, so no intake.

Ok I've been searching for a new case and, to my disapointment, my local retailer has little to choose from. My choises were the Cooler Master Elite 430 and the K380.
Can you say which is best??
Feel free to choose any case from this link(My local retailer)

A test would be to run it with the side off, if the temps drop you can safely assume it's an airflow issue. Do the side off test first before you order, how close is the GPU to the base?

It's very close almost no space

I did but the results werent big.
It only got down to 90ºC

No space = no air flow

You need better Case for sure

Both mentioned by you Cooler master Cases will Solve your temps problems
You sure your GPU is not full of dust ?

Yes, it's brand new

Get one of the cooler Master cases and get a side fan for it, I prefer having them as an exhaust right over the card, but you can try both ways and see which is better
